My current plans were to use postfix as an MTA, and possibly cyrus for IMAP. We are pretty much limited to a single box, and will have about 30G of raided storage for mail. I'm not positive about what IMAP server to use though--does anyone have any experience in this area? I was also hoping for some performance tips on setting up filesystems, and general tuning of the box. My concerns are mostly with the *huge* number of files that will be on the box though if we went with cyrus. Would it be best to have a number of smaller file systems? What about block sizes? Also, we are using Kerberos 5 for authentication. I'm not sure how this will fit into things--I expect it may require a bit of coding. It would be nice not to have any local accounts on the box though. Thanks, Chris PS, please cc me as well.
