I'm using a postfix/FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE system as the central mail hub for the
University of Louisville. I have softupdates enabled on the mail spool,
I process about 75K messages per day, and I have absolutely no stability
problems.
The system is a PentiumPro 200 MHz with 128 MB RAM. Kernel was compiled on
Sep 27 14:32:45 EDT 1999.
This system in only a relay/router system. It handles no local deliveries.
Just another real-use data point.
