Yea - we have a dual 2.8GHz xeon 800Mhz server with 4GB of ram and
400GB RAID 5... This is currently our mail server that runs mysql,
SMTP, AV and SPAM checking, pop and imap. Its load average is -0.1, so
we are thinking about vitalisation to utilise the hardware more
efficiently. I would also seperate some of the above services out to
there own domain.
