What do you mean by slave server? There's no definition I know of for a slave server for a mailserver.

Just want to move my mail server (exim, clamav and spamassasin) to another server.
Server 1: DA Installation with apache, php, and users data (site + email data)
Server 2: MySQL Server
Server 3: Exim server, clamav and spamassasin
In other words, I would like to move the mail processing threads to another server - receiving and sending about 10.000 mails / day - a separate mail server is a must.
Thank you

Then update the mx records.

I don't know if I'd call that a slave unless you want to automaticallly pick up all the settings from the DirectAdmin server and duplicate them on the mail server every time thre's a change.
Is that what you want to do?
mr.applesauce is being a bit simplistic; that's the first step you need to take.
Actually you need to make sure that none of the domains are in the /etc/virtual/domains file, as well as having MX records and mail records (so the user can pick up mail elsewhere) point to the new mail server.
However, setting up the mail server so it'll work automatically, adding and dropping domains and users from the DirectAdmin control panel, is the hard part.
As far as I know, no-one has done it; at least no one has published a how-to.
If I ever have time I'll consider writing it, but it won't be simple, and I'd consider making it a commercial product.
