Hmm that low huh? The web server hosts the company web site and it sends approximately 60 MB/day. The mailing-list server on the other hand would be more of a test at this point and it would probably be very very low traffic (2-3 lists with 10-20 subscribers each). Would it involve a lot of pain to transfer the Mailing lists to a separate email server further down the road? I wouldn't think it would be too bad, but I'm sure you have a better idea than myself.
