Also true for myself as well. I am using a similar setup, although I'm running on a linux box (ubuntu server) simply because I got a free dual processor 1U machine and it allowed my to get some very affordable colocation on a reliable network. Be aware that any such option is going to be much more difficult to setup and maintain than SIMS. I switched simply because I was getting so much SPAM traffic that the 8500 could no longer keep up. An interesting find was that the SIMS server hasd a 92% blockage on incoming attempts and the new setup with EXIM and SpamAssassin has a 99% blockage. So in actual arrival of spam emails I went down from ~500 a day to under 100, a huge win.
