Of course. > Two ASSP's, and VMware Server, with Ubuntu? Two servers because I have two MX records on separate connections from different ISPs. And with Ubuntu by itself and/or Xen - why VMware (and what > guest OS are you using inside VM)? The servers were previously physical boxes running Server 2003 and were migrated to VMware using the VMware Converter. (hardware was getting old and performance is, oddly, better under VMware now than with separate physical servers.) I used Ubuntu as the host because it uses less resources than Server 2003 and it costs significantly less too. :) I could migrate ASSP to Ubuntu completely...but if it ain't broke.... > Just asking what prompted your decision for this > implementation - you're obviously handling a large > volume and your experience would be welcomed. It's not the volume that prompted this setup as much as the need for redundancy. (yes, I know that they are both on the same physical server, there is a second (physical) server and a backup plan for hardware failures) My company LIVES off it's email so any loss in service can cost big $$$. When they don't get their email my phone can't ring fast enough. :) Any other questions or comments are welcome.
