Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. ------_=_NextPart_000_01BE98B2.AC608F44 Content-Type: text/plain I was wondering if any of you that are managing mail for many users can give some advice as to the limits (number of user accounts) that a typical setup can handle. Things like the type of server(proc/mem, disk, etc.) and the number of accounts would be helpful. Also, any advice on how to go about using multiple systems for mail servers would be helpful as well. We currently have about 4,000 accounts on a lone linux server and it is starting to bog down, and pop3 dies a couple of times a week. I need to be able to handle about 10 - 15 thousand in a about 3 months so if anyone can relay their experiences, I would be most appreciative.
