Hi Everyone,
Not really an issue directly related to postfix, however I'm sure I can
get some goods ideas here.
I wish to host managed email servers for some customers. Each customer
will have their own email server which will be an all-in-one virtual
machine running postfix, dovecot and some webmail suite.
Even though each customer will have their own server,
Will your maintenance costs explode?
cost for n customers =(( n virtual servers + 1/n host machine) x 2),
because you perhaps require HA for mail applications? + 1/n per proxy
These are virtual servers, so no costs to deploy HA or one per customer
Do they require direct access to their server instance? As far as I
can tell from your description your proxies seem to solve all problems
of that kind.
Just for authentication when sending emails....
