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. -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: simon.lyall@ihug.co.nz Senior Network/System Admin | | Home: simon@darkmere.gen.nz ihug, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz
