Split Web and Mail server

    I have two boxes and I would really like to split my web and mail server. I read the few posts in here by people wanting to do the same thing. I guess the question is what configuration files are modified by ISPConfig? Is it all done in MySQL after the initial setup of Postfix?

    If it is all done in MySQL what would prevent me from setting up a remote connection through SSH or something to the second box with the mail server on it?

    If there are other files that are updated, couldn't I just copy them over manually each time I added a site? This is not very often, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

    Thanks,

    Fred

    Splitting web and mail server is not supported in ISPConfig 2, it will be supported in ISPConfig 3.

    /etc/postfix/local-host-names
    /etc/postfix/virtusertable
    /etc/passwd
    /etc/shadow
    /etc/group

    No.

    You might be able to do this. But be aware that you can only copy the passwd, shafow and group files to the second server if the user / group ID's on both servers are identical.
