[CentOS] Re: Planning Mail Server (with low resources)

> 1) Minor: Why do you want a large /home?

To let the users organise their mails in folders (using squirrelmail
or maybe another webmail client). If there are other ways of do this I
would be very pleased to know them.

sorry about my ignorance, but what does it (temp/soft failure) mean.

Restructuring setup
----------------------------------
Hardware:
Pentium III 1.4Ghz
256 RAM
40 GB HD-IDE

Soft:
CentOS 4.2
Postfix
Cyrus-IMAPd

Partitioning(in MB):
/                         1.000
/boot/                  100
swap                   512
/home/                15.888
/tmp/                   500
/var/                    7.000
/var/spool/imap/    15.000

What do you think 'bout this?

I agree with you that is needed more memory, and more disk space, I'll
work to upgrade the hardware.

Would be recommended to separate /var/logs/ and /var/spool/mqueue/ in
different partitions too? or is enough  with separate only /var/.
