Hi Sharma,

Majordomo does not have inbuilt automatic multi server resilient
backup.  One can add it though.  I've done it with berklix.com.

I've got a cold bug, & then priority business commitments demanding
time when I'm well, but your firm welcome to pay me (I'm freelance)
for a few hours to take time to document it on web for all.

Tip: One `just' needs to analyse & extend existing 'domo /etc/aliases,
think what one can call with /etc/crontab, think about MX record
priorities for DNS, ssh for inter server inter site backup safe
from IP spoofing etc. Standard Unix stuff.

Cheers,
Julian
