Subject: Mailserver HDD organization
Hallo to everyone on the Debian Sec. List,
I'm actually planing to install a new mailserver
on network, the mailserver will substitute an existing
one which runs of course Debain GNU/Linux potato and sendmail.
The new server will be a P266Mhz 128 | 65 MB Ram with 2x 8GB
IBM ULTRA WIDE SCSI HDD and oviously 100 MB network connection.
The software I plan to run on the new server is Debian Potato
with exim as MTA, mailman for the lists and some other stuff.
i would suggest you to use not exim. exim is a very nice MTA but the best
mind of security and performance is qmail!
My real problem is the HDD Organization, the actual server has
all his / (root) in RAID 1 Mirrored via software on two IBM HDD
which each one is 2 GB.
I don't want to have only one big root parition on the new server,
it's not recomanded, isnt' it ?
no it isn´t
I was thinking about a partition for /, one for boot, one for
/var/spool/mail and some other important system parts.
Has anyone real-life examples of running mailservers,
maybe some HDD organization infos, MTA infos and other
importante related know-how to run a secure and stable
mailserver on my network.
here is one:
200 users
qmail server (smtp)
imapd
qpopper 4
iptables
f-prot (virus scanner)
/ = 2 gb (300mb in use)
/home= 10 GB
/var= 20gb
/boot= 300mb
please use qmail, its really the securest MTA you can get.
Thanks for any reply,
Have a nice day...
-Ivo
