LOL. This is some great information for all the responses that I have gotten. I have been messing with my configs, seems like weekly, for about 2 years now. Was curios what other people were doing. Running 3 IMail servers and handling about 700,000 messages a day now for over 500 domains.. Fun times :) This product has been the best I have used since I have trying out other over the course of the last 2 years. And the support is incredible (hat off to Scott Perry).
Thanks for all the info!
