Email Servers? Basic advise needed.

[Ron Henderson]

Do you think Sendmail would work with the Linux-Ha project? Is there any
documentation you can point me to for sendmail?

Hello all,

            I am looking at building my first Linux email system. I very
much would like to use Linux over windows/exchange for all the obvious
reasons. The Servers need to host @1400 pop3 accounts. I was wondering
if
any of you could tell me if it is possible to cluster multiple mail
servers
for redundancy/performance. What distro / mail server software do you
all
recommend?

I switched to sendmail four years ago and never regretted my decision to
do
so. Admitedly there have been a couple of security issues in that time
but
doing the patches saves the heartache. I have looked at failover
solutions
but can't really comment on clustering because I've never done it up to
now.
Sendmail hasn't skipped a beat in that time so I never persued it any
further. The previous windows solution needed a poke every week to keep
it
running and I must have saved hours of the 'is the email server
running?'
questions to more than make up for doing the switch.

Have fun which ever solution you pick but I can recommend Sendmail no
worries.

Bry
