We are a medium sized company with 5,000 employees. Every day we send and receive about 10,000 e-mails.

We want to set up our own Linux mail server (Postfix+Cyrus). What is recommended hardware for such needs?

    Five thousand employees is hardly small. I have a few less users then that in my Exchange 2007 environment but do 30K messages/day, and we run between 3-4TB of space for mailboxes. We use multiple servers.

    Just an FYI, 5,000 employees is not small on any scale.

    You want 5000 employees using POP3 and IMAP? Have you considered looking at enterprise systems (such as Exchange)?

  • Yeah, sounds ignorant to focus on email when both, exchange and lotus do provide a LOT more, including scheduling in an integrated platform.

I'd recommend looking for VPS's, take a look at Logicworks they have infiniCloud services, with CentOS , Postfix+Cyrus... all you may need for your services.
