I have configured four servers using FreeBSD 5.3 with the following ports :

- Postfix
- Amavisd-new
- SpamAssassin
- Dcc
- Courrier-IMAP
- Clamav

Not only is this working very well, but It's easy to update and very steady.

One of the configuration I have is load balancing the trafic (using MX DNS) between 2 servers (1U 3Ghz Intel proc). Servers are processing mail (virus scanned - user verification using LDAP - spam checked) and delivering them inside a network wher people are collecting them.

More than 10.000 mails are processed every day no problem.

If you need more detail - let me know.


Sincerly yours.

-}FreeBSD makes a fine mailserver.

It certainly does.

A few months ago I did some testing and found that freebsd 5.4 with softupdates enabled was able to process IIRC ~300% more email than fedora core 4. In fact sendmail on fbsd 5.4 handled nearly as much email as postfix on fc4 while postfix on fbsd 5.4 was smokin' the wire. I still have the hard data around
somewhere if you think it'll be useful to you.
