Goran, I have no experience with SmarterMail, but I would generally suggest that doing your antispam content filtering on a box with which your end users have direct experience is bad.
In other words, I would suggest always having a gateway configuration, with your mailboxes on an "internal" server.

In my testing/experimenting with Declude JunkMail Pro and Virus Pro (2 scanners running) under IMail 8.1x I found that: 1 - With a volume of 20,000 messages per day which half were hosted and half were forwarded the IMail server's SMTP service would become unresponsive and users who were using the IMail box to send outbound would get timeouts. Also the Web Interface bogged down and response was bad. This created customer complaints. This is bad. 2 - If I split the above 20,000 messages onto two servers one scanning/forwarding and one hosting then I did not see the slowdowns and customers did not complain. So my question is the following: Is there enough knowledge out there yet that if I was to put everything back on one server but use SmarterMail instead of IMail with the same Declude package would I be suffering the same performance problems? I have heard more than once that IMail's Web Interface is a big pig on CPU resources. Any thoughts on this?
