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
Partitioning(in MB)[1]:
/ 1.000
/boot/ 100
/home/ 15.000
/swap/ 512
/tmp/ 500
/usr/ 1.000
/var/ 5.000
/var/log/ 2.000
/var/spool/mail/ 14.800
The server will serve around 2000 students, but only 80(maybe 100)
concurrent at time. I would like to make a very basic installation,
'cause as you can see, I am with a very low hardware resources. This
host will be mail dedicated.
In the near future the hard would be upgraded(maybe a nu computer).
Now, I need something to show in a working environment.
I'll appreciate any suggestion.
I've never been involved in this. I used to program with php, but now,
it has been delegated :| to me (chosen between other tasks).
Some orientation (and|or) readings will be great too, even while, I'll
continue reading about partitioning[3] (think my first step).
thanks in advanced for your time.
