Hey all,

I'm after a bit of advice on how to implement some server and network ideas I am currently planning for the next few weeks... Don't know if this is the right forum, if not Mods please feel free to move it to the right place!

Basically I am after an idea as to what software and hardware I will need, and how difficult it will be to implement certain ideas.

Equipment and connection wise, I currently have in the office:

1 dual 867 Powermac
2 G4 450 Cubes
1 Dual USB iBook
(All running Jaguar 10.2)

1 Ethernet 8 port router

1 DSL connection with 8 static IP addresses at my disposal

Rather than get people in to do the work, who I would have to call back should there be problems, I want to try and do it all myself... My aims are to:

Firstly, give all our clients an email address at our domain name... Figures wise, by the end of next year we will hopefully have about 5000 people with addresses...

I have no idea how to do this, I presume I will need a mail server etc?

Secondly host our company website from a box in the office...

I'm pretty 'savvy', having set up our internal networks, file servers etc but never attempted stuff like this. However I don't mind getting my hands dirty (thrive on it actually!)

Oh and ideally it all has to be Mac based, I really don't like (!) PCs and Microsoft, so don't want any of that stuff cluttering up the place...

Any advice would be very greatly appreciated!

Many Thanks,

Marc
