I've done it a variety of ways depending on what other tasks it might have to preform besides just being a mail server. However, this time around I want to setup one who's sole purpose will be mail. No other services will run on it. Just qmail. I'm working with an 80g drive just so you can use that as reference. Any suggestions on slice layouts will be very welcome. I know you need to give preference to /var/mail and the spool directories, but how much and in what ways would be another good question to answer. Thanks in advance for the answers.
