What is DirectAdmin?

You might run into user problems instead ;)

Yeah, such things need to be reliable. Always use hardware RAID on
servers that need to be reliable and have to store valuable data. You
will probably not want to use a mail store that keeps all mail in a
single file per user. At the same time, keep it as simple as possible.
Think about running exim 4.60, using the built-in means for virus
scanning and SPAM checking (with a messages size limit applied), and
cyrus 2.2 as a backend.
Insist on the RAID. It means some extra expense, but it saves you much
more that it costs once a disk fails. If you can't get hardware RAID,
use software RAID.
