Hi,

My company (a medium sized ISP) has decided to replace one of our mail servers. We need more CPU power, memory, etc. My boss is talking about getting 2 good size hard drives with a raid card to mirror these. I was planning to install FreeBSD 5.3 (because that's the latest distro I have CD's for) unless anyone has a good reason why not.

I'll be installing Sendmail, mimedefang/spamassassin (somewhat CPU intensive), bind (for a caching name server), Qpopper, procmail. We currently have 500 - 600 mail accounts on the current server, and plan to move these to the new server plus use the new one for growth (I don't know how quickly new mail accounts will be added, but say 20 to 50 accounts per month.

What would you folks reccomend as far as hardware goes? Hard drive size, CPU type, amount of RAM, etc.?

Thanks for the input.

Lisa Casey
