It's weird - we have two data centres (Boston MA, USA and Sydney AUST), two 
MailScanner gateways and I was only pondering today that I really should pull 
my finger out and write a combined script that "rsync's" all the configs then 
restarts stuff that's changed so I only have to modify the files on one 
machine.....

Anyone interested to see my scripting 5ki15 when it's all done?

We run independent bayes databases on each server - they get enough of the 
same sort of mail to be "close enough".  If we ever wanted shared a database 
I'd put in some sort of funky mysql replication...or something along those 
lines anyway (never looked into it in much detail).
