I'm considering FreeBSD as an alternative, but I was wondering what
people think of FreeBSD as a platform for Postfix. It's obviously not
as easy to maintain as Ubuntu, but it does have a reputation for
stability. Any thoughts, recommendations or experiences would be
appreciated.
85.000 aprox. mail account here (spanish web-hosting company) using:
* 25 FreeBSD 7.x as reception-only mailservers (3500 accounts per server
aprox)
* 3 FreeBSD 6.x as sending-only mailserver
Works like a charm.
Postfix+FreeBSD it's an amazing combination.
Some considerations:
* Branch 7.x it's more superior than 6.x in networking performance.
* UFS2 it's good, but sometimes it's a bottleneck (especially if your're
using a sof-RAID as gmirror(8). It's a good thing to tune FS.
