I'll second that. CentOS5 x64 on that hardware will handle that without
breaking a sweat. CentOS also has a much longer life cycle.

Good morning, friends, someone who already has some experience with
qmailtoaster, what would be the best distro for running qmailtoaster,
today I get around 9000 e-mail around, I run a dell 2060 server with 8GB
of ram
Best distro? With the 8G of RAM, I'd suggest CentOS5 64-bit.
For production, I only use CentOS, even if it's not 64-bit.
Agreed. I checked the stats of a server I'm logged into at the moment.
It's a P4 3.2Ghz with 2G of RAM running CentOS 5.2 32-bit. It averages
8075 messages sent per day, and 11523 messages received per day.
That's a total of 19598 messages per day, or 548770 messages per
month. Roughly 75 domains and 1000 users on the machine.
CentOS 5 will be supported until March 31, 2014. That's a long time
before you're forced to upgrade. Fedora is support for roughly 13
months from the day it's released, so you'd need to update every year
(roughly).
As an update, I did a check and have 74 domains on the server with 1720
email accounts.
