We run it with just IMail on it. Web server applications (IIS) may or may not
use a lot of resources depending on the traffic and the content (streaming
video vs. static HTML). If you can , try to use a separate machine.
While 512MB of memory is good, I don't think that is the solution to
spam against open relays on your server. The solution is to close the open
relays. I'm not the best person to comment on how to do this, but I'm
sure you will receive some feedback on it. You should also look through
older threads for that topic.
