[vchkpw] Vpopmail + NetApp still "best practice"?

[Rainer Duffner]

Hi,

when going the "Maildir on NFS for clustering"-route, is using NetApp 
Filers still considered "state of the art" or has something better emerged?
From a price-point, I'd rather use FreeBSD, but the fact that there's 
no real volume-manager makes it unusable for our purposes.
I've actually mailed Blue Arc about their hardware, but despite not 
being in the black, they didn't feel it necessary to answer my query.

Does anybody have any sizing-information? NetApp offers a lot of 
hardware and even the entry-level stuff is not cheap.
I'd like to know how many deliveries/h one can make e.g. with a small 
FAS 270.



cheers,
Rainer
