Record of some of the computer tech I deal with so that it's documented at least somewhere.

The mail, the mail is here

Ok, new project : installing courier / postfix / spamassassin across 3 machines for handling millions of emails.

1,000,000 mails a day
999 out of 1000 emails that arrive are spam !

storage first :
courier-imap & courier-imap-ssl
using userdb for large installations i.e. one dir per domain
postfix for delivery to Maildir/ format
saslauth rimap -O 127.0.0.1 for SMTP auth so it uses courier's db

Main problem was SELinux - that gave me the dance around to get saslauth going.
