platform for Courier?
I run a small number of my own domains on Solaris 9. The only real issue
I've had was getting more recent versions ( > 0.50.0) to build. But
since a recent thread describing how to force the use the Gnu ld (even
if gcc wasn't built with it), I have been able to get 0.53.1 (and auth
0.58) running w/o issue. The only functional issue that you might find
is that this distro doesn't come with famd by default; I've managed to
get a build from another source and find it works wonderfully with no
more overhead than on Linux.
I also run Courier on FC4 for a lab at work, and it runs well there,
too. I find that I have been continuing to build from sources there
still since (a) got used to it with Solaris and (b) central RPMs don't
seem to keep up on latest versions well -- or I just don't know where to
look. ;-)
So... is there a "best" platform? Well, I guess it depends on your
situation. If you were very high volume, then a clustered implementation
with beefy CPU might be advised. But for smaller implementations, I
don't think it makes much difference.
