z9m9z.htt-consult.com is running RSEL6 on a Cubietruck with a 320Gb HD.

For software it is using:

postfix
mysql
postfixadmin from sourceforge
dovecot
roundcubemail from roundcubemail
spamassasin
clamav
amavis-new

Plus of course httpd and all the dependencies the stuff above needs.

I run a few domains with a handful or so of users.  Typical day is 5K 
emails passing through.

So this will be a test of getting a lot of packages available.

I have a pretty good set of notes from last year.  I hope to offer a 
cookbook this time around.  And then be able to leave it alone for a 
long time.
