web in server1 and email in server2

[jlucho]

Hello guys

I want to do the following configuration:

On a server1, I want to have hosting accounts to store web and mysql (email account and information of email)

and in another server2, the mail storage


is it possible to make this configuration? how to do it??

on the licensing issue? , cpanel would charge me double, since the same hosting account would live on 2 servers

Hey there! That's a pretty common hosting scenario - you'd just need to make sure your MX records are properly setup so the mail is routed to the correct system. The email accounts themselves would be setup on server2.

If both machines are running cPanel you would need two licenses.

The idea is that both servers are synchronized, so that the hosting user can create their email accounts on server1, but internally the email information is stored on server2.

is it possible to do this configuration in cPanel?

Thanks for the additional details. Currently there isn't a way to do that, although we are exploring options of more distributed hosting solutions on our end.

Hello,

You can route your email using some MX gateway (such as Proxmox Mail Gateway), both incoming and outgoing. With this scenario, you still keep an email server inside your cPanel server, and emails still stored on the cPanel server, but from the outside, we see that the email server is the MX gateway, not the cPanel server.

Useful for routing emails into another dedicated server with better IP reputation, for blocking spams before it reach the cPanel server, ...
