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.
I'd suggest using courier-imap or something else instead of qpopper.
Afaik, qpopper supports only the mailbox format, which is slower and
less secure than the maildir format used by modern pop3/imap servers.
Courier-imap has a pop3 and an imap part, both of them have SSL support
and are easily configurable. Your company migth benefit from running an
imap server too. It has a bunch of advantages over pop3, so this might
make your users feel more appreciated.

Gabor Kovesdan
