hi,
we have customers running more than 300,000 subs on NFS clusters, and
working great.
For running around 100,000 subs with an average messaging of 3 messages per
sub and average
5k message size you should be able to handled that with 4 Intel PIII 500 >
servers or with 3 P 620 servers
you wouldnt need a NFS device like Netapps if you want to save on cost and
could go ahead with
some NFS servers on Unix, though Netapps is very reliable.
Thanx and Rgds

I'm running qmail-ldap with about 150,000 accounts now (and rising) using
two
ldapservers for loadbalancing (more will be needed), 2 popservers (again,
more are planned), 4 smtp servers (not that many needed now but good for
load
balancing and seperation of emails coming from the internet or from own
clients). Smtp is quite heavily used: about 700,000 mails a day, average
size
being 60K.
