Rating: mildly OT (probably more networking than Linux) hi All, We are in the process of setting up a new email server in our US office. The service is currently hosted at one of the local (US) ISP. Our sales and business development people (management) have identified that emails is now a critical component of the company, and we have to provide a certain level of redundancy. The box we are evaulating is a VA Linux 1000 1U form factor running RedHat 6.2 It is more than adequate as an email server. my questions 1) what is the best way to achieve redundancy on an email server ? 2) is RAID worth it for an email server ? 3) for those working for ISP.... how does ISP provide redundancy ? and I need a Linux solution, as this is the only network OS we use. 4) backups is not a solution for us, we bascially need something that can take over with minimal down time 5) is there any disadvantage running a web server (Apache) off the same box ? eg. performance, security...etc Thanks R _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
