Off load your SMTP traffic onto imgate.

I sent a similar post years ago and got the same recommendation from Len Conrad. About a year later I took the plunge. That was a year I wasted. The box is very easy to setup and has been running great. Plus it dramatically blocks spam and virii.

As for the IMAIL box but the spool on a separate drive.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Hardware & Setup

I am looking at purchasing the Promise SuperTrak100 for one of my clients. They are going to run Imail and after reading everything in this forum this is how I suggested to setup the machine. The Supertrack100 is a six channel controller so:

1. 1 Channel for OS/IMail Raid 1

2. The other two channels would be Raid 0+1 User Mail Boxes

Is this the best way for most performance Speed? Where would you suggest to store the spool/logging? What would you guys recommend (IDE RAID) for the hard disk setup? Looking at about 20,000 user accounts? Need something for future use, client doesn't want to go with scsi.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
