Hi,

Is it possible to have load balance or HA for an sendmail server
acting as a relay?

Thanks in advance.

Sure. If they're relay-only servers, then equal-weight MX records will
"load balance" close enough to the real thing to not matter.

If you're talking about an email hub, something that end-user clients will
talk to, you can set up a cluster using Sun Cluster (free).

You might try asking this in comp.mail.sendmail

You'll need to expand on what you want to do. Will this server take
email from the internet and deliver it to user inboxes, or will it take
emails from the users and deliver it to the internet? Or will it do both
tasks?

> What is email hub? Is it a commercial product?

"Email hub" is a non-specific term. It just means mail flows through it,
without necessarily being the end-point for the mail.
