Go with the latest stable FreeBSD (4.72 ?). Postfix is the way to go. PCRE is much more efficient than regular regexp. You'll probably want to install from source--I'm not sure if the FreeBSD port/package has PCRE enabled. > >What whould be the ideal partioning for this 20gb hard disk?

Take a look at the FreeBSD installation guide in the disk partitioning section for some suggestions. With postfix you'll typically want a large /var partition if you use the default for the mail spool location. I forget where this list is archived but I know Len has put forth quite a few suggestions for performance, including disk partitioning. Also, you can search the postfix-users archive for similar info. Chris Scott
