AN> Well if anyone wants to put together some scaled pricing starting at 2000 I'm responding on-list because I think there are a few questions that would be generally useful to know... * What sort of spam and/or virus filtering? These make a huge difference in CPU/memory load, and in AV license pricing. * Straight POP3? IMAP? Web-based? Most of the turnkey Web- based email packages seem a bit bloated, meaning more RAM. AN> email accounts and scale up to 60,000 I can pass on to client. They are AN> insisting on price breaks for quantity. Include hardware and software specs, Even if it means people _raising_ low-end prices? ;-) Seriously, 2000 accounts probably will get you into bulk pricing with most places... AN> setup cost, monthly cost, and related experience with similar jobs. The AN> client is a trade union looking to have all members 'plugged in' so they can AN> recieve trade and political literature. Accounts will be no larger then AN> 5Mb, I am pushing for 1Mb. 60,000 * 5 MB = 300 GB, assuming no overcommitment That's very doable with modern drives. Reducing the limit obviously makes it even easier, but the upper limit is by no means out of range. Do you have rough bandwidth figures? "Receiving literature" could indicate big attachments, which obviously eats more than periodic 4 kB messages. AN> If interested, send questions or replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED] AN> AN> (Hope this isn't breaking any forum-list protocol) I _think_ it's okay... giving blatant pitches on-list is what would be a bad thing.
