You're better off with RAID 0+1. I run RAID 5 on mine and when it runs
through the queue, disk IO is the bottleneck.

Thanks! .. ;)
The machine I'm running qmail on has like a full c block assigned to it and
a RAID5 array so I don't think the disk i/o will be a problem ?? But if
needed I also have a RAID1 Array setup on it with twin 20gigs so I could
place the secound qmail over there but I think the RAID5 should be fast
enough for it.... Thoughts?
