Hello, we have to scale our qmail based mail server (with a custom made www frontend) to multiple machines to be able to serve ~100000 users and more. Currently we have a single server based heavily overloaded system with 30000+ users. We have many plans, but I would prefer to hear how others would start to construct such a system. We build all the machines ourselfs (including PII based PCs, RAID, network) and write the necessary code. All ideas, especially real world experiences are warmly welcome... (Especially file-system, user database and redundancy issues are critical. Would you use SMP with dual PIIs or 2.2.5? NFS issues? Postgres instead of passwd? Round-robin DNS or something else?)
