Re: [cobalt-users] A Dedicated mail server



Thank you Bruce for your answers.  Here are more info about that project :

Yes, there is one reason.  Some times, we move some sites from one server to
another, for performance reasons...
And, we want to put a Anti-virus & Spam solution.  This is a easy way to pay
only for 1 Anti-Virus ;)
And, if a web server is unavailable, then the chances that the mail server
break also is small...

Do we realy need only 1 IP, if we give Webmail ?  This require Apache to
run....  Or don't we need to install Webmail on the mail server ???
Our customers love Webmail...
I remember that i read something about a Apache limit to 255 sites.  So, if
we have to install Webmail on the Mail server, the we will have a problem
with only 1 IP if we put the 300 (and growing) sites...  No ?

No, there the servers are not making there own DNS.  We have only 2 DNS
servers, with the same and unique domain.
Thanks for any comment.
Best regards
