'debian-mentors' is for technical help for packaging software for the
Debian distribution. 'debian-user' is for usage questions. I am
copying your mail there. You will probably get much more help from
them.

Hello List !
Sorry for all the mystery and anonimatum. I am a person who is very
interested in using redhat as my servers. I will need to mount a mail
server with a backup mail server using fault tolerant systems. I want to
use debian for this. I hope that my questions, or the way I form them
don't bother you. Thanks in advance.My question is :
1. What is the best mail software for Redhat ?
INFO : The mail server has to be SMTP / POP3 and WILL have a very nasty
load of users.
2. What would be the best platform for this server ?
INFO : We currently have COMPAQ Proliant's ranging from the 1600 to 7000
(Dual Processors).
3. What would be the best kernel for a vast majority of user load ?
INFO : I am looking at 14.000 users, sending and recieving mail
4. What kind of software would be the best for fault tolerant systems ?
INFO : If server A falls down, then server B takes over.
Best Regards
John Smith
