Your server should be able to handle that load quite easily.  I'm guessing 
a configuration issue, rather than a server issue.

If you run Task Manager, and sort the processes by CPU time, which ones are 
highest?

Note that Declude JunkMail can sometimes add up to about a minute to the 
delivery time of E-mails, although it is typically only a couple of seconds 
(depending on how recently an E-mail was received from the remote 
mailserver).  But it sounds like you have much longer delays.

Do you ever send out bulk E-mail (mailing lists, for example)?  That can 
cause lengthy delays in delivery of E-mail, but if you are running Declude 
JunkMail, then Declude Queue will be running which should minimize those 
delays.

Have you checked the log files for an E-mail that took a while to be 
delivered?  You can first check the WebShield logs to see what time the 
E-mail was received by WebShield, then you can check the IMail/Declude logs 
to see when IMail received it, when Declude finished scanning it, and when 
it was delivered.  That should help track down where the delay is.
