Then the user invites the secretary to that room and the secretary should then be able to read and write the calendar too. I did some timings with SMTP mail but I was not trying to get stats for the mailing list feature, I was just trying to gauge the effect of different thread models in the server. However, that said, the timings would indicate that the server can handle that kind of thing quite easilly on an older machine with limited RAM so a modern machine with a dual core processor and 1GB RAM should romp it with ease. I think our users will agree that Citadel is very stable and more so than an suite of seperate servers and its easier to maintain 8-)
