os x, dovecot and rsync

[Mize]

Holy hell, no posts for almost a year?
Oh well.

It's a longshot but if anyone can help me here's the deal:

I want to mirror and OSX (10.6.4) mail server (postfix, dovecot) using rsync so that my clients can fall back to webmail should the primary MX fail (power outage, etc). rsyncing the mail dirs is not an issue, but I need to rsync all the user settings, UIDs, etc. and I don't know where OS X hides this stuff. These are not "system" users - they're set up in the mail server config program. I assume the user db, etc. is somewhere in either /Library or /var, but those are pretty big directories to just arbitrarily rsync.

any help appreciated....

any help appreciated....Some tutorial I've found (http://www.ehow.com/how_2269704_apple-mail-settings-email-mac.html) says you copy a file called com.apple.mail.plist from ~/Library/Preferences.

Thanks.

Unfortunately that's just for an email client. I'm trying to mirror an OSX email server.
