I ran SIMS on a PowerBook 160 (16mhz 030) with 10mb RAM and an 80mb HD 
for about a year. It ALSO ran NetPresenz and MacHTTP for FTP and Web 
services. It never even so much as hiccupped. It was handling about 100 
accounts and a few hundred to a thousand emails a day. Boxes were set to 
have a max of 5mb of space, so there were never large attachments to deal 
with. It ran on a 384k SDSL line with static IP

The same powerbook is now acting as a backup mail exchanger. It now sits 
at my house on an IDSL line with static IP. It handles 9 domains, but 
only as a backup server, so it sees traffic few and far between (when it 
does, it gets a few thousand emails before my regular servers come back 
online). It also runs IPNetRouter to give me NAT services for my house. 
Again, never so much as a hiccup.

I currently run SIMS as primary mail servers on two Performa 630s (66mhz 
040) with 36mb RAM and 500mb HDs. Not too long ago (actually, as recently 
as today, as one of my two servers was only switched about 3pm today), it 
ran on a Centris 610 (20mhz 040) with 40mb ram and a 230mb HD. The 
centris setup handles 8 domains, a few hundred accounts, and I have NO 
idea how many emails (probably in the thousands a day). The other one 
(the long time performa one) handles one domain, maybe 100 accounts, and 
probably in the range of 3000 emails a day (although probably half those 
are actually mirrored to outside POP boxes, and immediatly deleted, it is 
done thru the mirror to list, as more than one person recieves the email)
