Hi all,
I have to plan and setup a mail solution for about 50.000 users, here are
some key features requested by our customer:
- self coded webfrontend w/ webmail and administration (filter, alias etc)
- 100MB quota per user
- autoresponder
- about 50.000 user
- online backup of data
- some more featuers for web frontend
Since I happily use qmail for some other (but smaller) installations, I
want to try it with qmail here for this project as well. My only problem
is, I have no clue where to start ... beginning from "should I use 2
redundant and really strong or some more but cheaper servers?" to "which
qmail distributions and patches should I use (ldap, mysql, ...)?" and "how
to store data (mails) and do online backup w/o downtime?".
I know you can't give me _the_ solution for this issue, but I am thankful
for any hints and internet links on this topic.
I am sure you guys can help me :)
Greetings and TIA, Matthias
