The AOL email system ran on a network of Tandem NonStop systems back in
the day. It was all custom at that time.
I worked at Tandem at the time, and we had regular weekly shipments of
machines going to AOL.
I think the sales rep retired on the commissions.

that size on a single server ;)

I believe the original spec for Communigate was to run all of AOLs email on 1
server. I would believe it. Bomb proof.
The Russian guy that does most of the code is a freaking genius.
It is as expensive as Exchange but so stable you will never touch it.
Reselling hosted domains is trivial. You can give admins for your hosted
domains full reign of their domain and never have to worry about them.
Pretty cool stuff.
