[Semi-OT] Advice on large webmail setup

[Neil Thompson]

Hi all,

As the resident Linux guru, I've just been tasked with costing a webmail setup
for about 600 000 users.  They each have 10MiB (small, I know) mailboxes.  The
current setup has about 40 million web page accesses per month.  No more info
available (typical :-( ).

Has anyone here any experience with this kind of thing?  If so, any pointers as
to software and hardware used, and any other advice would be appreciated.

Obviously, we'll have to also do virus and spam checking, so sizing on mailscanner
stuff would also help.

TIA

Cheers! (Relax...have a homebrew)

THEOREM: VI is perfect.
PROOF: VI in roman numerals is 6.  The natural numbers < 6 which divide 6 are
1, 2, and 3. 1+2+3 = 6.  So 6 is a perfect number.  Therefore, VI is perfect.
