Little bit OT: We use _ONE_ XMail machine (with 2GB of RAM) with ~5k domains and ~20k users, virus+spam protection and it performs very well. With the cache files of XMail, I don't think there is much performance improvement, as I can't see any in our actual setup. I guess SQL will be interesting if we make the step to a multi-server setup. Maybe another MTA with native SQL implementation (postfix e. g.) would be a better choice for this task, but I'll have to look into it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
