Win 2000
IIS 5
DNS
IMail with different templates
Webtrends Enterprise
Proprietary Security App
Celeron 400 256 Mb RAM 4 SCSI drives.
Why would I want to be an idiot and spend money on 4 machines? This one runs
as well as the IMail install I have running alone on a Xeon 500 with 512 Mb
RAM. I learned my lesson on hardware overkill.
Backup, backup, backup. Pay attention to the logs. Enjoy having one machine
to administer.

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] User Database Location Benefits
Have to chime in here. I have one server handling SQL, IMail, and IIS
without any problems what so ever. There are reasons why smaller businesses
have to operate this way. And if things are working fine, why spend the
money on the server and co-location fees.
I do realise that since we are growing, I may need to change this later and
if it comes to that, I will take care of it.
