No local boxes at all, no POP3,Webmail,IMAP,etc. Check back in the thread on my exchanges with Kami. Looks like the most optimum solution is put OS/Programs/PageFile partitions on the RAID1 array and put the spool on a single disk. If the single disk fails we can quickly move the spool folder to a reserved 1G partition on the RAID1 for a day or so until we get next business day warranty replacement of the failed drive. This setup accomplishes redundancy for everything that takes a long time to reinstall/setup - OS/Imail and still leaves the spool folder on a fast drive with a good backup plan. -- Best regards, David mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
