This document is meant to introduce users, administrators and
developers with the problems involved with building mail clusters.
It describes some clustered architectures that can be used
to deploy mail clusters, how they can be employed in PigeonAir
Clusters and to the terminology and main problems encountered
when working on PigeonAir Cluster.
This document is meant to be an informal introduction to the
PigenAir system, for those approaching its installation or infrastructure
for the first time. It will not discuss technical details
nor detailed studies about the described architectures and
about the employed solutions. This kind of discussion is left
to other documents.
