guys thanks for the fast replays
Then, restructuring the mail-box:
Hardware:
Pentium III 1.4Ghz
256 RAM
40 GB HD-IDE
Soft:
CentOS 4.2
Postfix
(Cyrus-IMAPd|wu-imapd|courrier)
MailScanner [moved] \ [1]
Spanassassin [moved] /
Partitioning(in MB):
/ 8.000
/boot/ 100
swap 512
/home/ 14.888
/tmp/ 500
/var/spool/imap/ 2.000 # This could be as a Cyrus Swap, moreover of
System Swap?
/var/spool/mail/ 14.000
[1] To somewhere else where the mail box connect before sending and
receiving mails to check for, or maybe another tricky configuration?.

very nice.. news :)

sure, I've read that cyrus implement this very well(I'll see the other
ones). In this list recommend me to install it. So I continue with you
guys.

yes. but I only have one dim slot on the motherboard, my knowledge
about hardware make me feel the burning smelt of the other, when
trying to set a 256mb memory. Now I care a lot the other one that is
alive. :). I'll request for a 512mb ram to it.
Suggestions
-------------------------------
- Increase RAM (preferly 1GB)
- Increase HD (preferly 300 or 400gb)
- Implement Quota (on IMAP Server) [2]
Please, any other suggestion (and|or) modification in the
partitioning, will be welcome.
