Hallo to everyone on the Debian Sec. List, I'm actually planing to install a new mailserver on network, the mailserver will substitute an existing one which runs of course Debain GNU/Linux potato and sendmail. The new server will be a P266Mhz 128 | 65 MB Ram with 2x 8GB IBM ULTRA WIDE SCSI HDD and oviously 100 MB network connection. The software I plan to run on the new server is Debian Potato with exim as MTA, mailman for the lists and some other stuff. i would suggest you to use not exim. exim is a very nice MTA but the best mind of security and performance is qmail! My real problem is the HDD Organization, the actual server has all his / (root) in RAID 1 Mirrored via software on two IBM HDD which each one is 2 GB. I don't want to have only one big root parition on the new server, it's not recomanded, isnt' it ? no it isn�t I was thinking about a partition for /, one for boot, one for /var/spool/mail and some other important system parts. Has anyone real-life examples of running mailservers, maybe some HDD organization infos, MTA infos and other importante related know-how to run a secure and stable mailserver on my network. here is one: 200 users qmail server (smtp) imapd qpopper 4 iptables f-prot (virus scanner) / = 2 gb (300mb in use) /home= 10 GB /var= 20gb /boot= 300mb please use qmail, its really the securest MTA you can get. Thanks for any reply, Have a nice day... -Ivo -- �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� Ivo Marino [EMAIL PROTECTED] UN*X Developer, running Debian GNU/Linux irc.OpenProjects.net #debian http://eimbox.org �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
