Well, you definitively don't want to run a webserver, a mta and the database on a host having such a load. ;-) I always try to avoid situation where a service depends on a single-point-of-failure-service like mysql. Don't understand me wrong, mysql is stable for most of the time, but if you want to offer reliable high availability e-mail you at least need a mysql-cluster. (and please remember that maybe ldap fits your meets much better ;-)) The next question is if you have mailbox/account- checking on your mta at smtp-session to (try to) avoid spam and if you want to have a secondary mail exchange. (which then needs access to you mysql oder ldap-service) As you can see, it's not a simple question. But as a good friend of mine always says: "If it would be easy, someone else would do it" ;-) Greetings from Germany -- Thomas Eisenbarth, Donau-Ries Media-Consulting, DoMeCon web: http://www.domecon.de email: info@domecon.de tel/fax: 0700 03 66 32 66
