MailScanner and Gentoo

[Alex Neuman van der Hans]

I'm sure you could have speed improvements by tweaking the box. Check the
FAQ/MAQ about it.

Mike,

I am currently using Gentoo on two servers with MailScanner, ClamAV, and
SpamAssassin 3.x.

I am not using Gentoo to improve performance, rather I use it because of
the amazing portage package management system.  I don't really think you
will see that much of a speed improvement, but you will have a much
easier time keeping system packages up to date.

I have a few thousand accounts managed and authenticated through mysql.

Gentoo + MailScanner = Pure Joy

 Hi All,

I'm considering trying Gentoo for a mail server that offers MailScanner,
SpamAssassin, ClamAV, Samba, IMAPS and Hylafax as its major services.

I would use this server to replace a current system using FC2 to provide these
services.

I'd be very interested in people's experiences with Gentoo and MailScanner.
I'm looking to Gentoo for the perfomance increase over Fedora.

I'd appreciate any feedback from people with experiences using Gentoo and
Fedora for a MailScanner system.

Thanks,

Mike
