It depends. Imail as an MTA, Mail Transfer Agent, is clearly capable of
sending 100's of 1000's of msgs per day, and much more if you have good DNS
and good backbone connection. A P200 would be fine for such a level of
traffic.
Imail's MLM, mailing list manager, is solid enough, but it's clearly
missing many of the features found in
dedicated list mangers like Lyris or listserv.
Unless you are absolutely glued to MS and commercial software, you should
look at open source MLM's, such as Listar or MailMan as MLM on postfix as
MTA and FreeBSD or Linux as OS. These have nearly all the features of
Lyris, and postfix is capable of millions of msgs per day, all for free vs
the many $1000's you'll pay, annually, for Lyris and listserv.
For archiving Imail, somebody in this Imial list has done it with mhonarc
(another open source freeware), http://www.mhonarc.org, and reported good
results.
