I'd like to get some comments from the list regarding Sendmail & Qmail. My
question(s) are: Does anyone know if Sendmail or Qmail can handle large file
attatchments and 12,000 users? Also is there a configuration that will
enable us to maintain Public Folders and use a client like MS Outlook?
I'd like to suggest an Open Source solution to our Microsoft only mail
server admins if there is one.
Here's the situation:
I work for an agency that has been having problems with our Exchange server.
Specifically, emails with large files (7-14meg) attatched will crash the
server.
They don't know why the server crashes but heres the solution presented to
us by Microsoft:
1) limit emails to 3mb
2) upgrade our hardware\$oftware.
Our admins added these to the list:
1) burn large files to disk then sneaker net
2) use an ftp server for large files
There's got to be a better way!
Thanks
-Andrew
