I can see Cyrus ports there, but I don't know which version should I go for, which one is the stable one? http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=cyrus&stype=all cyrus-imapd-2.1.18_1 The cyrus mail server, supporting POP3 and IMAP4 protocols Long description : Sources : Package : Changes : Download cyrus-imapd-2.2.12_2 The cyrus mail server, supporting POP3 and IMAP4 protocols Long description : Sources : Package : Changes : Download cyrus-imapd-2.3.1 The cyrus mail server, supporting POP3 and IMAP4 protocols Long description : Sources : Package : Changes : Download Maintained by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here are the auth ones cyrus-sasl-1.5.28_4 RFC 2222 SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer) cyrus-sasl-ldapdb-2.1.21 SASL LDAPDB auxprop plugin cyrus-sasl-saslauthd-2.1.21_1 SASL authentication server for cyrus-sasl2 Requires: cyrus-sasl-2.1.21_2 cyrus-sasl-2.1.21_2 RFC 2222 SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer) p5-Authen-CyrusSASL-0.01 Perl5 module for accessing the SASL authentication daemon Requires: perl-5.8.7_2 p5-Authen-SASL-Cyrus-0.12 XS SASL Authentication Long description : Sources : Package : Changes : Download Requires: cyrus-sasl-2.1.21_2, p5-Authen-SASL-2.09, perl-5.8.7_2 One more question Regarding the storage. I have more than 160k users, so could I use affordeable NAS or SAN and make more than one server stores the emails and read from them so in case one server fail, others would still run?
