    Dear Hackers,

            First of all thank you for your time and attention.

            I am in the position to implement a large-scale mail server and I will
    never go for anything else but FreeBSD (fixation?).

            It should be able to handle graceously 4000 e-mail accounts where a
    minimum of 50 Mb/mailbox would be a requirement. In the begining, it is
    desirable that users could use as much free space as available, so this
    implies some gigabytes/mailbox.

            I don't know if the mbox format can handle this, and I know Maildir
    cannot handle this on UFS2 standard install, no matter of soft-updates.
    (because it exhaustes the free nodes) So I currently have no solution
    for this stuff.

            I was wondering what is the status of Journaling File Systems on
    FreeBSD? Any which is usable and mature, with write access? XFS would
    fit amazingly well with Maildir, but.. I doubt it's anything else but
    readonly.

            So any suggestion would really help a lot. Thank's in advance.

            
    Yours Sincerely, 

    --
