All I can say is what is working for me... I can not assert anything about
other configurations.
I am serving about 200 POP accounts, SMTP and www services with an Intel
Pentium III server, 256 MBytes RAM and a 20 GBytes HD.
I am using a RedHat distribution and sendmail, but I have heard that qmail
is much more user friendly and MUCH MUCH easier for configuring it. I will
try it as soon as I can.
I installed the imap package, so I can retrieve mails using both POP3 and
imap; imap is used for web mail and POP3 for regular mail readers like
Eudora, Outlook etc. If you want to, you can use only the POP3 protocol.
If you want to serve www also, you will need a good web server. I suggest
Apache with OpenSSL patch, so you can serve https (secure) pages.
All this stuff is running very fine and its performance has been pretty good.
Best regards,
Hime
