- Hello,
- My campus (University of Central Florida) is considering supporting
- email for all of our staff and students. Currently we have a mix of host
- and lan based mail systems supporting about 15% of the campus. We are looking
- at bringing up either a Unix based email system or a POP based server for
- out users. I would appreciate answers to the following questions from
- any site who is running is this environment or who might be thinking about
- it.
-
- 1) How many users are you currently supporting?
-
- 2) Are you using a POP based system or a Unix email system (Pine/elm)?
-
- 3) How much disk space have you allocated to the POP server (or Unix box)
- and do you have a formula for allocating space?
-
- 4) How powerful of a email server do you have (MIPS) and is it dedicated
- to the email function?
-
- 5) How many support people (man hours?) do you need for the email
- system each month?
-
- 6) How do you support access to the email system?
-
- 1) direct TCPIP access (NuPop or Eudora).
- 2) SLIP access
- 3) ascii dialup/gateway through pbx
-
- 7) How many concurrent users do you support?
-
- 8) How do you handle documentation and training?
-
- Thanks very much.
