Hello,
Didn't checked by some reasons:
- I don't have a "billion's" budget for Solaris
- I think are much easier to find dedicated servers for other OS than Solaris. Since i am not from USA and target is USA.

Hello,
Have you checked out ZFS in Solaris?
It has compression in the filesystem; may be a good candidate for your mail directories.
Cheers.

Hello,
I am thinking on RAID1 and also on compression... To maximise number of users.

Compression will save you storage space, but will cost you CPU processing power. If you have many users, you may want to trow a cheap raid1 in your server before upgrading your CPU to expensive a quad-core
But is a nice idea for a small workgroup server

Hello,
I am wondering if there are any possibilities to save HDD space used by emails by compressing content (not just attachements).
It would be many 1000s email boxes and probably each using lot of space so would be easier if we can just compress emails somehow.
Thanks, Cristian
