Hi Goran-
I am running a SmartHost testbed setup using a SmarterMail package as a cache server. It's handling about 150,000 mesages a day and seems to be holding up fine witrh very low proceessor usage. Of course, in this mode without mailboxes, the operation is quite a bit simpler than a mailbox server. The web interface is a little slow to get started, but once it's up it seems fine.
So far, the only major drawback I've seen is the lack of communications between mailbox servers and "SmartHost" cache servers. There is, apparently, no way to notify a SmarterMail SmartHost server as to what users are acceptable. They are therefore subject to dictionary attacks. I created a little VB routine that runs every two minutes and deletes commonly formatted NDRs. I have the delicvery delay set to 3 minutes, so every message in the spool is scanned at least once and many NDRs are deleted this way.
I like the management features, too.

Thank you all who have commented. Based on my previous experience and not wanting to jump in too fast I am going to split my scanning and hosting servers.
Kevin - some neat things that I noticed when I put up the free version is some very simply yet informative graphs. Disk space by domain, Disk space by user within a domain. Also there is bandwidth charts who is sending how much etc.

Could you elaborate on what is missing and what is neat?
