RE: [IMail Forum] Hardware & Setup

>>Is this the best way for most performance Speed?    Off load your SMTP traffic onto imgate. http://IMGate.MEIway.com I sent a similar post years ago and got the same recommendation from Len Conrad. About a year later I took the plunge. That was a year I wasted. The box is very easy to setup and has been running great. Plus it dramatically blocks spam and virii.  As for the IMAIL box but the spool on a separate drive.   Andrew P.
