Today's project is to run up CentOS 4.0 and turn it into a secondary MX that 
will basically relay mail to an internal exchange machine (just like the 
primary) and hold mail for 2 other domains to an internal IMAP server.  I'd 
like to keep all the existing recipient verification and grey-listing etc.  
Which I've got sorted in my head....just gotta write the scripts :)

So are there any particular "gotcha's" I should be looking out for, either 
with CentOS or MailScanner?  I normally use Debian on servers but $BOSS has 
declared RedHat (EL) will be our preferred platform - I've been waiting 6 
months for installation media from $BOSS...so screw it; CentOS, then migrate 
later.  The primary is scheduled for some major hardware changes and I NEED 
this secondary up and runnning soon.

Does anyone have any useful scripts to keep two geographically and logically 
separte servers in sync with each other's config?  I was thinking CVS but 
that seems like overkill - other ideas?

Cheers,

James
