Hey David: Your situation is identical to ours. We wanted something we didn't need to upgrade for a long time. We needed to upgrade badly ( was a pentium 180 with 64 megs ram running at 65-100% cpu usage) and we upgraded to a dual PIII 933 mhz with 1 GIG of ram upgradeable to 16 gigs (i think) with a mirrored RAID fast 40 gig drive with the option of having a third drive as a backup or spare too. coooool! It's cool to see it processing mail at 0-4% processor usage now LOL!
Talk to you later!

I'm running Imail and Declude (both A/V and Junkmail) with F-Prot on a dual PIII 1 GHZ machine with 2 gigabytes of RAM. Sounds like your server should handle the load with no problem. Mine is overkill, I seldom see cpu usage exceed 10 percent. I recently had to upgrade and wanted to make sure I was covered for a while. I think the Pro version of Junkmail checks both incoming and outgoing mail for spam but standard version of A/V checks both for virii. If it's a biggie better check with Scott before you buy but I think that's the deal.
