Not to doubt that it works for you, but # of accounts is irrelevant. Real usage of all services is the counter here, and it's a sure thing that you're seeing a lot less traffic than many others, what with IIS behaving on the same box! One also needs to determine which services will be available in the first place, as HTTP, HTTPS, and IMAP4 consume a lot more local resources than POP3 and SMTP and thus are better left disabled if there is a choice. Also, RAID 5 is not right for a mail server--good reason to have two or more controllers, with RAID 1 for mail functions. To really size such a dual-purpose box correctly, it's necessary to have traffic projections, then overbid. > It's really easy to manage since you can play by SQL Server rules. True, that's the advantage. -Sandy ______________________________________________________________________ The HKSI-IMail Admin List is hosted by........ Humankind Systems, Inc.
