RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Off topic - recommendations for RAID config for new mail server
Hi; In case it is of some value... We have ours setup as: RAID 0: C (OS) RAID 0: S (Spool) RAID 5: D (Imail mailboxes). Although a RAID 1 would be better for the mailboxes but we feel adding storage and managing failurs is easier with RAID 5. Hope this helps..

Sorry about the off topic but seeking advice on the best RAID configuration for our new twin Xeon processor server, it hast 3x 36GB drives at present though more can be added and 1GB RAM. It'll be running Win2k, Imail and Declude AV/JM and currently processing only about 7k emails a day though this figure will increase to 50k+ a day (hopefully). Looking for performance (email throughput) and reliability (operating system), any advice or recommendations much appreciated. There is a lot of good information on this in the Imail archives. You should have 3 partitions. (4 if you put the page file on its own.) Partition 1: System Partition 2: Imail Declude such Partition 3: Spool file Partition 4: Page file. You may also want to create to page file partitions for protection, as it is not recommend to mirror the page file. Partition 5 Page file B Using 4 partitions on 3 drives I would go like this: Drive 1 Partition 1 Partition 2 Partition 4 Drive 2 Partition 1 Partition 3 Drive 3 Partition 2 Partition 3 Ultimately, I would put logs on a separate partition also, but could be on the same as Imail Declude such.
