I don't really know what you mean by that, but every workload will be different. My server is set up in an enterprise environment, where email is a critical function. There's an enormous volume, even among a small number of users, and the scalability of the system is important. That said, I don't think the two servers will work very hard. Sendmail is slow; Courier, postfix, qmail, exim will all run circles around it. > I support about 200 users, all via IMAP/WebMail.

I think the e-mail server is only a 500Mhz + 256MB. I get > filtering from the Postfix RBL code, and no virus scanner (is there a free > one that will plug in good to Postfix?)

Courier certainly supports it. Additionally, we have active virus and spam filtering in place, which you do not. Hardware requirements depend entirely on the service you want to offer, not just the number of users to be supported. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
