Hi!
I have been using Qmail, over x86 Boxes with Linux for a while, with
excelent results. But now I'm plannig to make my first move in the big
leagues on QMail.
The company I work for is using Netscape Messaging Server on a Sun
Enterprise 250 Box, with 2 Cpu's, 36 Gb. HD and 512 Mb. RAM. They have 8000
users in 10 different domains, and something arround 1.1 Million Messages a
week of traffic, all the mail is read using POP3 Clients. No Webmail, No
Distribution Lists, no "[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
capabilities, Very Expensive LDAP solution, etc.
We have had a lot of problems with Messaging Server. Sometimes the server
simply doesn't answer port 25, or 110, or doesn't deliver messages... etc.
This is not the point of this message.
My move is to change everything and migrate the systems to a x86 (Compaq
Proliant 3000, 2 Cpu's, 512 Mb. Ram, 50 Gb. SCSI Array) with Linux Redhat
6.2 Installed on it, and (of course) Qmail, Vpopmail and TcpServer.
A Couple of newbie questions:
Do you think that this x86 machine would be able to manage the email in the
scenario I outlined above?
If Not, waht would you recommend?
Do you know any site that has information about correct sizing of QMail
Servers?
Note: I'm trying NOT to re-use the Sun E250 Box, because I need it for other
projects, but if this is the best solution, please let me know.
Thank you very, very much for your help.
Regards,
Alexis.
