Hi all,
I am looking at putting a courier imap server in to production with a large amount of users, over 1000, in the near future. I have be asked a fer time as to how many users can the courier system handle. I will be using postfix and courier-imap. Could I ask a few of you let me know how big you installs are and how well they perform so I can give the management some examples.
We are using courier imap, pop, and sqwebmail with exim as our smtp server at the University. We have ~40k active users.
We have 15 front end machines (dell 2650s) and a NetApp file server serving the maildirs via NFS.
Our system is not "out of the box" so to speak. To deal with a lot of our system specific issues, I've had to make a series of changes to the code. These changes are not "performance based" however.
So my response would be: YES! USE IT! :)
Courier is great, and Sam is an excellent programmer who continues to write clean and maintainable code.
