Absolutely crazy! Self-Built 1g Mail Server

This is a real past: Two years ago, I told my friend that I wanted to build a free post office with a capacity of MB per mailbox. It must be popular, and the swordsmanship was "a free mailbox capable of delivering the entire VCD!" After hearing this, my friend did not say anything at the time. He went straight into the room to retrieve a thermometer and gave me a fever. Later, I discussed this issue with a lot of netizens, and everyone was dismissive and scorned. I thought it was just whimsical and there was no practical value.

I pulled out a pile of my baby from the cart in the dust door under the bed:

The PC chassis is broken, with 230-watt licensed power supply), 810-card motherboard integrated graphics card), sai Yang 433CPU, two 8139 M sdks of modern memory, 10/100 nic one M), 120G Seagate 7200 to IDE hard disk, screw data line chassis fan several.

I was excited when I looked at the pile of "broken" because I and my friends are about to put their 1g emails in it.

The assembly process is nothing new, just like assembling a PC, but because the chassis is too broken, I had to use a plastic rope to tie the hard drive bracket; the chassis switch has long failed, I replaced it with a single touch switch, or some friends may ask, what is the problem? Can I use a broken PC as a server? The answer is yes. If you don't believe it, let's take a look. However, as a 24-hour working purpose, its accessories are no problem. The key lies in heat dissipation. If the heat accumulation temperature is too high, the machine will crash. Therefore, I have also installed a 70 × 15 high-speed ball fan, which can directly blow the cold air to the CPU, Motherboard chipset, and large-capacity hard drive with the largest heat. This is very beneficial for servers to operate without downtime for a long time, we try to use a better fan quality. After all, it also works 24 hours a day, the price is not high, but the usage is not small. Here I choose a dedicated server fan of Qiji brand.

Well, let's look at our email server. I dare say that its performance is definitely no worse than the paid email address you use. Do you believe it? Haha.

If you do not need to talk about it, first install the windows2000 Advanced Server Edition and install various patches. Do a good job in security settings. After all, it is necessary to do internet services. Security cannot be sloppy. It is hard to explain if you lose your friends' messages.
