The max number of mailboxes would be 60K with 39K initially. So I ask the FreeBSD-ISP community, what would you suggest? Requirements: IMAP/IMAPs POP Web-Access Support 60K users I'm thinking 4 Dell 1750s (2 webmail/portal servers and 2 IMAP/POP/SMTP boxes) and a NetApp backend for the mailstore. What would you suggest for the software? imap-uw? Sendmail/Postfix? I've used squirrelmail and imp. I also saw GatorMail which looked super nice. Any suggestions welcome.
