dbmail has me interested, I read the doc's and as with most db applications
it recommends large amounts of RAM. Situation is I'm using a VPS and not my
own hardware, so here's the scenario
1) OS Gentoo 32 bit MySQL VPS server that it's sole function in life is
that of MySQL it also functions as a db server for my other web application
(Drupal). Currently out of 720 MB RAM I average under a 100 MB usage.
2) I'd like to get another VPS to function as my mail server using dbmail
and connect to my existing MySQL server.
So, one VPS with dbmail and another with drupal and mysqldb? If so, I
think, the better way ist to have the applications on one VPS and the
database on the other VPS.
So question is realistically with only about a dozen users what will the
requirements be for a mail server, I'm thinking that 360 MB should be more
than enough. Also with my current RAM usage for my MySQL server I have have
more than enough RAM to accommodate a dozen or so users.
Should be okay. What count of mails/hour do you expect? It might be a
problem at the database server if every of your user is subscribed to
several different mailing lists. For normal mail processing, I do not
expect problems.
Also I noticed that the current tutorials are geared towards the db server
residing on the same server as the mail server. I'm assuming that
configuring dbmail to use a db server on my LAN isn't an issue.
No, it isn't. in dbmail.conf change sqlsocket to
host = www.xxx.yyy.zzz
sqlport = 3309
