Semantics my friend... Proxy/gateway, whatever.... The user wanted
soemthing in front of his IMail server.
Perhaps the point is small, but it worth noting the difference between the
two concepts. This was not the most important point of the post however.
:o)
He also called into question the ability of ASSP to handle high mail
loads on windows. The server with over 1 Million messages a day was
running on Server 2003 with the latest Active Perl.
Hmm, the official ASSP website states the following:
QUOTE
It should work well with between 1 and 300 client addresses and a mail
volume of up to around 100,000 messages per day. Testing has not been done
to verify these ranges ...

Exactly my reason for passing that information along from someone who was
far exceeding those numbers. Hell, I am running ASSP, perl, two AV
gateways, and Imail 8.22 on a six year old dual 733 mhz Dell Win 2k
server/Domain Controller, handling up to 10k emails a day (most of them
being filtered by ASSP) with very little CPU most of the time. BTW the
"official" ASSP page is not being maintained much and has fallen way behind
development. There is a very active and devoted following on the
SourceForge ASSP mailing list and forum, and a push to bring the
documentation up to speed. In that light, there is a new Wiki page under
development at http://www.asspsmtp.org/wiki/index.php that is worth checking
out for anyone interested in learning more about ASSP.
