Re: brief email survey

[maclean@milquetoast.CS.McGill.CA (Matthew Sams)]

} 1) What email server software does your organization use (sendmail,
} postfix, qmail, exim, etc)?

sendmail, cc:mail (sendmail is external hub, cc:mail is internal hub)

} 2) What email client software does your organization use (Eudora, Outlook,
} Pegasus, Pine, etc)?

cc:mail, notes

} 3a) Do your users access mail from remote locations?

yes

} 3b) Do you use some sort of POP-Before-SMTP protocol for those users in
} 3a, or do you require them to use the remote SMTP server (or, do you
} simply have an open relay or hardcoded remote addresses)?

uses cc:mail mobile via RAS 

} 4) What is your message size limit?  Do you ever reconfigure your mail
} server temporarily to make exceptions for "important" large emails coming
} out of your organization?

None that I'm aware of although cc:mail sets its own arbitrary limits.

} 5) Do you implement mailbox quotas on a per-user basis?  If so, how big is
} that quota?

No. Clean out all folders on mail server weekly. Messages older than one 
month are purged. cc:mail has a postoffice box limit of 4GB. A postoffice
would be home to several hundred users. 

} 6) How big is your organization (# users, # admins, # unix servers, #
} workstations (PC or otherwise))?

2500, 30, 100, 2500

Of course you're not asking about all our AS/400, Tandems, and NT boxes
