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?. :) > A P3 1.4GHz is more than up to the task, so you will have no problem there. > That is PLENTY fast enough to run the mail server that Johnny talks > about in his web pages very nice.. news :) > as long as people have relatively small mailbox quotas. 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. > One change would be to add more memory to the machine if you > can (memory is cheap these days so that might not even be an issue). 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.
