There's the isp-emailservers list (at isp-emailservers.com, even), but the clues are few and far between. It'd be nice if some actual content (as opposed to "please help me I've never used the Internet before and now I'm an ISP" questions) could show up there, though.
Earthlink have a little paper here:
http://www.earthlink.com/about/papers/mailarch.html
and I half remember seeing a couple of other papers somewhere else (try LISA archives under usenix.org).
The system we use is based on a few ideas from this paper. Once you start splitting between multiple servers it's pretty easy to get something that'll scale to over a million mailboxes.
What about using clustered servers with SAN, I think this is also possible. For example Legato has a cluster product which can also support SAN. Is there any security consideration not to use NAS which is based on NFS ? regards, -- Muljawan Hendrianto Internet Consultant Siemens Business Services Pte. Ltd.
