Re: What DB would you choose for a (small) virtual server ?

Zitat von Frank Bonnet <f.bon...@esiee.fr>:

Hello

I have to setup a "virtual" postfix server and I wonder what would
be the best / most efficient choice for the DB backend ?

The server will be a small one supporting approx 1000 mailboxes
the machine is a "virtual one" hosted at OVH (France) running Ubuntu 10.4 LTS
with 4 Gb of dedicated RAM and 50 Gb of disk space.

I've never setup a virtual postfix server so "gurus" advices
would be very welcome.

Thanks a lot

Regards

Andreas

Focus on the management tools you will use for managing the accounts and choose the db accordingly. Postfix is not very "taxing" regarding db access so for some 1000 mailboxes any reliable db is sufficient. If using a "network" database limit the number of client connections with proxymap if you intend to run a lott of smtpd processes.
