Hi all, I'm hoping someone can give me some tips on setup for a server I'm making. It's going to be a webmail server for a client, with probably no more then 700-800 total accounts, with maybe up to 250 concurrent users. Will be some HTML mail (bleh!) and flash/animated gif/etc also. I thought of Squirrelmail as the likely candidate. Mostly internal connections, with external via SSL available. Bandwidth isn't an issue. The server is a HP ProLiant DL380, twin 2.8GHz Xeon, 2G ram. 2x36.4G 10k Ultra320 and 4x72.8G 10k Ultra320. I have the 36.4G drives mirrored, for OS and config stuff, and was going to make the 4x72.8G a raid5 and that be the mail spool partition. Is that sound like a good idea? I've not used FreeBSD for anything like this before and frankly am not sure what changes from default I should use, if any. Should I stick with 4.10, or is 5.2.1 OK? Any sysctl changes? Default kernel OK? Thanks for any tips! -- Met
