My budget is limited, and that one box will be cheaper than a lot of cheaper per unit boxes :) There will not be any user mail acounts, it will function as mail/spam/virus filter and then forward mails to pop3/imap server (which runs on windows) :D Existing windows server is dual 2.4ghz xeon.

Here's my feedback on the DL385 on a recent 3.9 snapshot. It's a ULTRA 320 SCSI/RAID version. What works: everything but RAID management through bioctl, I hope to find a way to at least retrieve RAID status. The RAID array is super fast but I haven't tried anything but stress to test the

Maybe you can suggest optimal configuration for mail server? It will be used for spam/virus filtering (~4000 mail accounts), proxy server (~100 clients). I think it's enought with 1CPU DL 145 system, but local dealer gives 2nd CPU for free for DL 385 :) Stuart Henderson wrote: On 2006/03/14
