This mail server hosted just over 12,000 virtual domains.... handles thoasands of messages per hour. postfix is running on the same system. Its running beautifully too... I've converted over three more systems with almost identical environments...

I'll tell ya anything you wanna know... I'm using FreeBSD 4.9, here is my how I currently configuered it (didn't use the ports)..

- how many systems?
- how many concurrent users?
- what type of hw is this on?
- what type of mail volume do you have to deal with?
