While I'm posting things - two geeky queries...

[lovingboth]

LJ - roughly what sort of resources would a site using the LJ code need for, say, a thousand active users, plus ten thousand people a day just reading? I can do the maths for the bandwidth requirements (cheap and easy to find at that level) but is running it off one PC reasonable?

Squirrelmail - we're going to need to read and respond to some emails via a webmail system some time soon. Anyone running this one? Any other recommendations?

I run SquirrelMail. Pretty easy to set up, but it's pretty basic compared to modern webmail interfaces like GMail. Horde/IMP is an alternative, and possibly a good choice if you want to offer calendars or groupware type applications.

What he said about SquirrelMail.

Thanks both - I don't think we need something of GMail's semi-wonderfulness, but we'll see. If we did, what should I look at?

This is mostly so we can continue to send / reply to emails as 'ourselves' rather than what IT want us to limit us to using.
