Hello,
I'm planning the installation of the school's Mail Server. This is the first time I get in administration. I've been reading about postfix, cyrus and the first page in the guide of HughesJR.com[2] about installing postfix-cyrus, but due my low hardware resources, I ask for suggestions to see If what I need can be done (and|or) stable.
Hardware: Pentium III 1.4Ghz 256 RAM 40 GB HD-IDE
Soft: CentOS 4.2 Postfix Cyrus-IMAPd MailScanner Spanassassin
First off, dump either antivirus or antispam on that machine. You don't have enough memory to keep both happy.
I must agree... 256 MB for a MailScanner+SA setup is rather low. What you could do is subscribe to a service like LastSpam (www.lastspam.com) (they are MailScanner-SA (with custom code)) to filter junk, if you can't get better hardware (especially memory).
A P3 1.4GHz is more than up to the task, so you will have no problem there.
You might also want to change Cyrus-imapd to something simpler, like wu-imapd, since it should take less resources from the machine. Then again, I have very little experience with cyrus, since I either use wu or courrier.
