We're a small ISP and receive about 30,000 emails per day with 60 to 80% being kicked out as either spam or viruses.
I upgraded about 6 months ago from a P2 running NT4 Workstation to a 2.4 Xeon (single processor on a dual processor motherboard) running Win2K with only 256MB RAM. I've never been a Dell person, but the 1600SC is a sweet running server. (I now have 3 of them). I bought them because the price was really right. I don't wanna be a commercial but 2.4 Xeon, 128MB and 15kRPM 15GB SCSI was less than $700 six months ago (hardware only). ~Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: "TC Online Support" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Declude.JunkMail" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 12, 2004 10:35 AM Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Server Recommendation > We are currently looking to upgrade our mail server.
