I would recomend keeping and av on the same machine. It should not give you that much trouble.

I'll request for a 512mb ram to it. 512mb should enable you to run without much trouble. 1G is an even better option since you plan on running spamassassin. > Suggestions > ------------------------------- > - Increase RAM (preferly 1GB) > - Increase HD (preferly 300 or 400gb) > - Implement Quota (on IMAP Server) [2] Hummm, RAID-1 ?

If you run courrier on maildir mode, you can use incremental backups, so a DLT tape (120G) should do the trick. > Please, any other suggestion (and|or) modification in the > partitioning, will be welcome.

It won't do you any harm, and can give you a nice edge by reducing seek time. - -- Rodrigo Barbosa <rodrigob at suespammers.org> "Quid quid Latine dictum sit, altum viditur" "Be excellent to each other ..." - Bill & Ted (Wyld Stallyns) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDlRHDpdyWzQ5b5ckRApAHAKC444jsTdaW6cE+9RMQp7CvKq3XrQCeKWZD VVbgAkBeHunTeCV1XVJyRDk= =Ga1h -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
