[Hosting] RE: [Sys] Imap: Squirrelmail folks are nutty for it

[Jon Carnes]

I'm happy to get SpamAssassin running for Trilug.  I run it here system wide
and it works great!  The TriLUG mail server has 1Gb of RAM so SpamAssassin
is not going to hurt it in the least.  I run it on a 450Mhz P-II with 512Mb
and it processes over 4K messages a day - no problem (but it was a problem
with only 256Mb till we upped the memory to 512Mb).

Sounds like everyone is nutty for Squirrel mail here as well.  So why don't
we do that real quick on the mail server and see what we see for folks!

As always, I'm willing to back my obtuse comments with the work to pull it
off, so let me know...

Jon

On my personal box I have both imp and squirrel mail running.
They work fine together since they both use imap. :-)

As far as spam assassin is concerned, I'm planning on making it
work systemwide. :-)

patching?  Explain.

He simply means its one more application that we have to monitor and keep
recent.
