We do have a number of customers that have a similar number of users. The key though
is the number of E-mails that are sent/received per day. If you're not sure, we have
a free program at http://www.declude.com/tools called "Domain Lister" that can tell
you.
FYI, Declude can be stopped/started without any delays.

No. We are doing some testing to see if that would be worthwhile, or if it would be
better to have the mail come directly to a second machine, where the mail would be
scanned, and then sent to IMail. If the mail is received by IMail, and then sent to
another machine for processing, it would double the amount of traffic on the LAN, and
would still use up some extra resources. But, none of our customers have had a
problem yet where they couldn't run everything on one machine, so it isn't a top
priority right now.
