This was the original question, but nobody replied to it and the user did not push the issue but is now looking for a replacement for ASSP.
Anybody have a comment on whether his server should be overtaxed by 50k+ emails a day? Is this too much for ASSP to handle on a Windows machine, or is there most likely a configuration problem or old bug that may be causing this?
