===>>> Thanks for your guide to config mirror with
Surgemmail
But with this configuration, mail account and mail
database will be stored on two server. I need just
only   store mail database on one server, the other
will responsibility for authenticate users, antispam,
and scan virus.

===>>> Exactly, English isnot my first language,
