Re: Debian mail server.
hi ya lars
- make sure the 2 disks is on 2 different ide cables..
- make sure its "fd" partition type
- use secure pop3s or secure imap...
http://www.Linux-Sec.net/Mail/secure_pop3.txt
- since its pop ... supposedly internal corp users...
i'd put the secure pop3s server inside the firewall
- for those few that read mail from home...
- let them in via ssh... maybe vpn them inside before
secure pop3s connections to their mails ...
- put sendmail on one machine .... and pop3s on a different machine
- no common login name between pop3s accounts and user shell accts
for size of partitions....( everybody seems to have diff peferences
and why its that way vs another.. )
/ - small as possible 64MB - 128Mb
/tmp - 128MB
/var - 1GB for mail stuff
/usr - 2048 or 4096MB for /usr stuff
/opt - rest of the disk for user stuff ( /home, /usr/local )
more/collection of partition stuff ...
