Hello,
I am gearing up to convert a sendmail system with pop/imap access on a
DEC Alpha to a Qmail-LDAP / Courier Imap virtual user environment on a
Sun Netra T105 with Solaris 8. Could somebody provide me with an
estimate of how much hard disk space I need based on your personal
experience. My setup is as follows:
* Qmail with Maildir storage
* currently 170 users, but the number grows from 5-10 a month
* Imap only access to the server
* virtual user environment
* All mail stored on the server
* Clients include Outlook, OE, Pine, Mutt, Netscape, etc. Windows
clients don't always compact their folders as often as they should and
some have never done it.
* Current mailboxes on the DEC Alpha contain from 1 week to 5 years of
messages.
I have estimated the current disk usage on the DEC Alpha to be around
70GB just for mail, but this is just a quick look at users home
directories and /var/spool/mail. The actual size of those directories is
approx 105GB.
Please copy me personally also if you reply.
Thanks,
Mike
