We�re in the process of planning a migration of email from a sendmail
server using pop3 type of service, to qmail using IMAP (courier). We
have about 300 users.
Since the email isn�t going to get downloaded off the server, and we�re
planning on Maildir format (required if we�re using Courier) that means
each delivered email uses 1 inode.
I realize this is a little off-topic for this list, but there must be
email administrators that have had to deal with this. We�re running
Linux (Red Hat 6.2, kernel 2.2.14) with ext2 file system. How many
inodes would be sufficient for that kind of setup? Are there any
statistics out there on how many email messages an average user will
keep in his/her mailbox? What�s the largest number of inodes you can
configure for on a partition? (How do you? man mkfs isn�t very
helpful.)
