Suse for Postfix/Pop/Openwebmail
Hi Gang- Last week my 6 year old BSDi machine died. It was a Pentium 100 with 128 megs of ram handling sendmail/pop/radius and user home pages for 2,300 users. Other than the hard drive giving out, it worked very. In the heat of getting a box back up I grabbed Red Hat 7.2 and installed Sendmail/QPopper/OpenWebMail to be up quick since I had the config files for Sendmail already. This box is now a Dual P333-600 with a gig of ram with a Raid 5 controller and I am constantly seeing a load average between 4 & 5. I also set up a Suse 8.0 box to do Radius, same config as above only with half a gig of ram. It is running beautifully with a 0.01 load average. My question, is anyone using Suse as a mail server to handle 2,000+ mail accounts? And if you are, what kind of hardware and load average are you seeing? I want to run Spam Assassin as well, but when I did on the current RH box it truncated the F in From and I had to manually correct several email boxes. I am not happy with the RH performance and other general issues, but the Suse box impressed the heck out of us and I am considering giving it a try for handling our mail accounts. Anyone care to share thoughts or experiences? Thank you, -Scott --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
