Hello ,
I only use the mail proxy service, and I have configured the HA cluster, MASTER: 192.168.1.30, NODE: 192.168.1.31, and DNS ABC.COM points to 192.168.1.30 and 192.168.1.31 ,Client sets Relay server to ABC.COM, but if one of them stops serving, the other will not take over the mailing service?

Depending on the clients, which try to relay via ABC.com - they usually should detect that they can't reach 192.168.1.30 and then try the next A record for ABC.com (192.168.1.31).

I Assume that you've setup the DNS records so that the fqdn you enter as relay for your clients resolves to both IP addresses
 
Yes, I have set DNS A record. If an exception occurs on 172.23.1.31, the client will fail to send mail. So i don't know how to solve this problem
 
Switching to another IP listed in the A record of a fqdn is something that most smtp-servers handle quite well - maybe the client-software has some settings which need to be tuned?

one other option could be to setup a tcp loadbalancer in front of your 2 PMGs (ha-proxy for instance)
 
I have reset Cluster,but fail.
How can I solve this problem?
MASTER: ProxmoxMG
Node:ProxmoxMG1

Error Code:
Oct 19 17:18:14 ProxmoxMG pmgmirror[27945]: starting cluster syncronization
Oct 19 17:18:15 ProxmoxMG pmgmirror[27945]: database sync 'ProxmoxMG1' failed - DBD::pg::st execute failed: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "cstatistic_pkey"

Oct 19 17:18:15 ProxmoxMG pmgmirror[27945]: cluster syncronization finished (1 errors, 0.38 seconds (files 0.26, database 0.11, config 0.00))
 
* easiest fix would be to remove the node and add it again
 
I delete /etc/pmg/cluster.conf from Master and Node, and reset Cluster,right?
