Currently the ISP I work has 50,000+ mail accounts on a multiserver solution... NetApp 720 for the file store on a private segment, A DellPowerEdge 2300 for the incoming mail server, and a 450 Pentium II with 256M ram for the POP box, MySQL POP Authentication tables, and a standalone MX20/Relay on another Micron Pentium II (I believe, haven't had to mess with it much)...
If you need IMAP, it gets tough... Except for IMAP I'd recommend Qmail.. it's the most robust thing, besides the NetApp that we have.. With NetApp and a RAID0 backed queue drive it screams...
You could all of the above with Penguins or VARs for pretty cheap... at guess 10,000 excluding the NetApp... If you use a beefy linux box with a fast raid 5 for the NFS server back end you'll also allow your servers to "load gracefully";-)
If you need IMAP but on a single domain, use the UW IMAP server... It even comes as an RPM and looks great... If you need multiple virtual domains like we do... IMAP looks pretty grim...
As it is when we go to web based email it looks like we're going to have to do a WebBased POP client...
Careful though, IMAP can get *WAY* more abused though... With IMAP you have the tendency for people to park and use more space... With POP it's just grab and go..
Resource wise POP is a better bargain and most clients can deal with it just fine... IMAP isn't worth the server load IMHO... Use qmail anyway ya can...;-)
I was having that same problem the other day... If you search for it through Freshmeat you can link right to the Linux Development page for Real Player and download the G2 Alpha for linux...
Doesn't have the java inline viewer, but it will read the.ram files and use the links...
I am abonafide Linux guy... Don't let the following dissuade ye in anyway... Geek to the core...
But it just so happens I recently made it through an audition for a play (WOOHOO!) and then found out I couldn't make the dates (Bummer)... But now I find I miss the fun of theater...
And other theatrical stuff for creative minds...
So if you need some voice talent for your new audio creation, free O' charge, preferrably for humourous stuff...
Send an email... Light a bonfire... Use the deep psychic gift that resides deep inside of us all and sizzle a few neurons for the cause of... ...
