Here is what I need to do: Set up a mail server that will support for starters around 30,000 POP boxes and mail delivery and that will be scaleable to aprox. 1.5 million POP boxes. Most of the projects that I have worked on have used NT but I feel that the best solution for this project will most likely be FreeBSD and Qmail. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. The fallowing are the first tasks at hand. I am sure that there will be questions that I will need to answer so ask away if necessary. 1) Purchase the best hardware for the job with scalability in mind. 2) Select the best software for the job. 3) Select the best storage solution for the job.
