Hi,<br>
<br>
The question is how many mails do you expect to process by minute, or
day? I work for an ISP. We have implemented two servers and they
process about 200000 mails/day. The hardware we are using is by far
less than the one you are proposing and works fine. <br>
<br>
On the operating system I would recommend CENTos (which is Redhat
Enterprise <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.centos.org">www.centos.org</a>) and is free!!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">All,
i thought I would post to this list instead of main, as you are real hardcore testers, to see if you would mind sharing your MailScanner
infrastructure setup. I am looking to setup my own business in the UK, and curious to see how you have all done it.
The type of configuration I have been thinking about is as follows :-
HP Blade Enclosure (bl25 x 8 / Dual Opteron / 4GB RAM)
2 x Postfix Servers
2 x MySQL Commercial Clustered Servers (for whitelists,spam-cache etc etc etc)
2 x BIND DNS Servers
2 x Backend MailStores (including webmail)
All datastores will be held on a HP MSA1500 and will be presented to the servers via fibre.
Now I have been thinking of using Gentoo, my preferred O/S, but may look at using RedHat so I can use Global File System. This way I can truly
cluster applications.
What do you think ? Any help from you all would be greatfully appreciated. Apologies if this is far off-topic, but thought it may be interesting for
us to share ideas on MailScanner setups.
