Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all the comments.
The reason why I said 256MB RAM, is because that is currently what my VM
has...
If I were to take out a dedicated server with:
2.8 Dual Core
2GB RAM
how much would that handle?
My customer is a business, with 600 staff, however I think they just use
a single broadband connection so that will be the limiting factor, as
this dedicated server has a 100Mbps link to the net..
Please let me know what you think
Thanks
Jonny

Is more RAM substantially more expensive? 256 MB is rather meek these days.
With physical servers, one typically gets 16GB or more of RAM these days.
Even a 6-Watt Atom-CPU FitPC box comes with 1GB of RAM! Your machine is
way off the mainstream memory curve... For Postfix alone you're fine, but
for running an IMAP server with users, you are likely too cramped, ask
on the Dovecot list, not here. Postfix is not very memory intensive.
