[afnog] POP3 server

[Antonio Godinho]

Hi,

It is a simple setup:

RAID 5 array of disks forming one logical drive of 240GB. the mail is stored 
in /var/spool/domain/mailbox. the other partitions are / and /usr.

I will definetely start looking at maildir systems but the solution I needed 
was for the current system as is, so it is running postfix with virtual 
domains on FreeBSD6.2.

Cheers,

AG
