Yes it would definitely require a lot more expertise, but it is a way to get more out of the same hardware if it's not a screaming fast box and that hardware is the only option. You can scale down the resources Untangle can have at the ESX level and if you're only pushing mail through it that won't have any noticeable performance impact on the environment. If you don't have that expertise or the time to get it, getting that expertise at the $0 budget likely isn't going to happen. Jails are a much faster, lower overhead, means of virtualization if you want to go the DIY route to build the anti-spam setup yourself. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
