Re: New Maia Implementation - Looking

Oh and I don’t know if I mentioned, this server will not have any mailboxes on it, only the user caches, and we haven̵7;t decided whether we will cache the delivered e-mail or not. So you think it would be appropriate to reduce it down to dual-core instead of quad-core CPUs?

What about the memory. Do you think 8 GB is overkill?

Like I said before, we have 4 servers (3 MM + 1 Mysql). The main specs are:

 

1x MM box- 2xQuad Core E5345 8GB - 4x 76GB RAID 10

2x MM box- 2xDual Core E5120 4GB - 2x 76GB RAID 1

1x SQL box - 2xQuad Core E5345 8GB - 4x 76GB RAID10

 

The MySQL server it's only for Maia.

 

The MM boxes, are filtering all e-mail to our customers emails servers.

 

The first MM box, have also Mysql configured, "just in case" of Mysql box failure. This structure is more than enough for current situation. Maybe overkill but, but our customers demand performance and high availability.

 

Well if your numbers are correct (70k mails/day), your server is enough. One question, this number is your total (spam+ham) mail received or is only the ham mail?

 

We received about 500K mails/day. About 10% of this value is ham, the rest is virus+spam.

 

Has anyone had experience with over 150k users?

That’;s our combined incoming e-mail (both spam and ham). Internal email from mailbox to mailbox on campus (which is probably where most of our ham is) is through Microsoft Exchange, so those will not go through the spam filter. In addition many of our students and some part time faculty do not use their email boxes.
