Re: Fallback server

Hi,

I've been attempting to setup perdition to use multiple servers for the 
same user names, but it doesn't seem possible which is a shame. In my 
googling attempts I ran into this email:

http://lists.vergenet.net/pipermail/perdition-users/2009-November/002214.html

That's exactly what I would like to do.

Currently, perdition has no way of handling a server being down. If 
user1: serverA, and serverA is down, user1 is out of luck.

I shouldn't think it would be hard to have user1: 
serverA,serverB,serverC and just have perdition go to the next server 
when the first times out.

Also, if this was in place you would probably want an option to say 
"dont_return_to_master." The point of this being, if serverA goes down 
and connections go to B, when A comes back up you don't want connections 
going back there automatically or you will have user1 on both A and B. 
Some IMAP servers have a major issue with conflicting sessions.

Anyway just some ideas.

But just to verify, perdition can't do backup IMAP servers, correct?
