Mostly internal Make sure that you compile/activate SSL support in to the imap client linked in with PHP - See the relevant make files in ports (it is something like WITH_SSL=YES). OR search for my name, squirrelmail and imap for a patch which allows localhost non-ssl and public-ssl. As otherwise you may find it hard to enforce SSL on the outside connections while also making it work with Squirrelmail. You propably also want to pick apache with ssl - just to ensure some level of privacy and safety. > > going to make the 4x72.8G a raid5 and that be the mail spool > > partition. Is that sound like a good idea? Combined with quota's if you are using user-level accounts (but you may want to look into cyrus - although a pain to setup; it does allow for a lot of automation when your userbase often mutates). > > I've not used FreeBSD for anything like this before and frankly am not > > sure what changes from default I should use, if any.

I'd consider quota's (see the Handbook) and adding the firewall (with a default ACCEPT) just in case you later need to block something abused. > stick with 4.10 for now. Aye - you should be fine for the next years. Dw.
