I would be interested to see a reply to this thread, as yet there have been
none. Any volunteers?

Subject: [IMail Forum] Capacity Planning for Imail?
Hello all,
I'm currently tasked with hosting email for approximately 125,000
users across roughly 5000+ domains in the near future. Is anyone out there
hosting this amount of users/domains using IMail? If so what are the
machine specs that you currently use? One note, we are utilizing 2 servers
as smtp gateways for offloading Virus and Spam processing. We aren't
tightly filtering the spam so a lot of it will get past the gateways. Here
are the specs we currently have for an ednpoint mail server:
4 Proc 2.0 Ghz Xeon (hyper-threading available)
4GB of RAM
5 X 72GB in RAID 0
Windows 2003 Standard Edition
Dual Intel Pro 100/S teamed NICS
Webmail will be used pretty heavily with the KillerWebMail
templates. There is also a high probability that at least 20%-30% of the
125,000 users are stale accounts that are no longer being used. If anyone
has tips on identifying stale users other than the Dir commands in dos that
would be awesome.
Thanks in advance for the help!
