I want to set up a mailserver with MailScanner and SpamAssassin, what

Giving some expectations about number of mail accounts and expected mail

Hello Rene,

I have tested on a RaQ3. I think, since you have the RaQ3 at your disposal, you should try it ONLY if you have maximized the memory on the box. I have tested it on a 128MB RaQ3 with only test traffic and it seemed fine. I have a RaQ3 with 256MB running as a my main mail server with about 200 users, with MailScanner, no SpamAssassin, and serving as a secondary DNS server. It always stays at maximum memory usage.

I would suggest that you will probably have some performance issues, but might be able to get away with it. Should you decide that it is too much a performance hit, you could always turn it off after experimenting.

Should you wish to try, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND this document:
