Hello all,
Edwin Casimero question about the Qmailtoaster's specifications for
serving 10,000 email clients spur my first question.
1. I am setting up a Qmailtoaster for 25 email clients but
expect the number won't increase to 50 anytime soon, if ever. Have I
assumed correctly that the standard install of Qmailtoaster is
sufficient given the correct hardware and internet connection for this
application.
Plenty. You really don't need to adjust much until you start to get
900+ users, depending on certain criteria.
2. I want to setup the above 'system' for POP3-SSL clients using
Outlook and Outlook Express (OE) and let individuals take care of
backing up their own email. If I decided to us IMAP4 or IMAP4-SSL is
there a rule of thumb mailbox size.
Depends on your hard drive space. Don't remember if this version of
courier does or not, but some versions had issues with mailboxes over 2G.
3. If I use POP3-SSL is there a way besides setting up IMAP4 or
IMAP4-SSL accounts for each user, or even a single account, to feed
spam back to the server? I've been investigating this and have found
that forwarding to a [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] account
changes the header of the email and 'resend' using Outlook does pretty
much the same thing as a forward. Outlook and Outlook Express are the
email client software this particular customer will be using.
There was an Outlook "hack" out there a while back that allowed you to
re-bounce a message without affecting the headers, but that was several
Outlook versions ago so it probably doesn't work with the new versions.
Otherwise, no, not that I'm aware of. You could use DSPAM instead of
Spamassassin (which DOES allow you to do what you're looking to do) but
for the situations where I tested it out, it did not work for me. It
needs to be trained before it's any good at all and requires a higher
level of user that I usually get hired by.
