We've been on 7.13 for obviously a long time. I'm looking at upgrading
to 2006.2 or Smartermail. Smartermail's drawback is the lack of ODBC

Ipswitch's site and it
I'm having trouble finding many technical specifics on Ipswith's site
for Imail. I'd like to give a domain an overall allocation of storage
space and then let the domain admin assign specific box sizes instead
of having a single default size per box.
Is this possible in 2006?

After further research, it appears he may have been having server troubles

I would wager that it probably isn't all legit. That is a TON of mail.
And if it is - why don't they have their own IT staff with their own mail
servers?
That was my red flag. They're supposedly doing some anti-spam themselves

Since when is RAID1 not redundant?
Yeah, I was going to mention that, but then I realized that he knows
that: it's a usable space issue that David's dealing with, since he
has three x-GB drives and needs 2x-GB usable space for mailboxes.
Confusing, though.
Yep, that's exactly it.
We're migrating Imail to a new machine and have the ability to change the
stripe size for the RAID 5 array that we are storing user mailboxes on. I
think the default is something like 16 or 32k. Does anyone have any
suggestions? How about RAID cache settings for a RAID 5 mailbox array or a
