Does anyone know if the SSL encryption for the webmail components can be offloaded to an SSL accelerator card? (And TLS in the new version for that matter). I have a requirement to use SSL and TLS on an imail box which I suspect will not take the additional overhead of encrypting the sessions.
These cards are pretty expensive, you need spare card(s), and you then have to see if Imail SSL/TLS can use them.
I bet you will be better off in upping your server hardware to 3+ GHz CPU and fast memory w/o h/w accelerator vs a slower machine with h/w accelerator.
btw, you can also save you current box but offload a ton of work to make room for the SSL stuff by running IMGate out front. IMGate always allows the Imail box to run noticeably much faster (or less stressed) and more stably than without.
