>What's the slowest, oldest hardware people have running SIMS? How well does >it work for you?
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) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
