I have a few questions that I have no experience in.
1) I am running a imap/pop3 mail server that serves about 20 accounts. May
grow to 30 but not likely. How large should the /var partition be for normal
mail traffic, and how large should the /home partition be to handle the mail
(I use procmail - does that move the mail from the spool to the user's
home?) for each user. I presently have a quota set of 5MB per user.
2) I am also running a web/ftp server and DNS on the same system. I would
also like to allow them their own web sites (they already have them but do
not know this right now). The computer is a 75Mhz Pentium, but how much Ram
should I have installed? I presently have 32MB of EDO RAM installed.
I am new to this but have to say thank you to those who unselfishly give
their time and expertise to help folks like me. To date, I have built, for
my company, a Linux web/ftp server, Intranet server, and firewall with fwtk.
The above server is for my personal use, but I use it to experiment and
implement services before I go production with them. Again, thanks for your
time and effort.
