As someone new to setting up an email server and actually in the process of researching it, I have actually found the thread, "sendmail vs. postfix" very interesting. The one thing that is not clear to me is the partition scheme that is best for an email server.

I would like to here what people are using for their partition setup. Anyone care to share?

For email servers specifically, the only thing I have found necessary is to make absolutely sure to have a hard /etc and /var partitions set up. That way, if your machine is completely dead, you can always re-install over the root partition without losing your actual data.

Saved my toosh once when my backups failed.
