Ainsi parla Chris Hoover le 52ème jour de l'an 2004:
Me and some friends are looking into starting a local isp. My friends are networking experts with some linux experience and I am the linux expert with some networking experience.
Anyway, my question is what software do most of you use? Obviously, we have decided to use Debian for our base os. However, what do most of you use for:
1. Webmail
Imp. Works well. Really.
2. Imap/pop access
Courier, definitely. Virtual-user based conf.
3. User management
LDAP.
5. Drive usage control (i.e. user only get 10M for mail and 15M for web)
Quota.
Any other advice sould be appreciated.
MTA: Postfix.
I'll second his opinion on every point.
And add the secure version of every protocol you offer, either natively or via stunnel.
Plus, it may be good to have reiserfs and some sort of volume management layer (ie. LVM) preferably on hardware raid, to quickly increase (and maybe decrease?) storage on the boxes if needed, as well as as for allowing online hotswapping of damaged hard disks. This will increase the time the service goes uninterrupted and may even aid in structuring some service level agreements with your clients.
