Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi you all? I've been considering this for a while now. Mercury on our Netware boxes works "most" of the time. But how would FBSD take the punch if I set up a pop3/imap4 server that will host about 20 000 clients? I need a stable platform for my users to send and retrieve mail via pop2/3/imap4. Stupid question(going to get flamed for this;) : Can FBSD handle that load? Any extra kernel configs needed? Thanks all -Jacques ------------------------------------------------------ The box said "Requires Windows 3.1 or better" ... so I got BSD Network Administrator | Jacques Hugo UNIX Systems | jacques@wired.ctech.ac.za Cape Technikon | +27-21-4603584 ------------------------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
