Wrong, for these reasons and more: 1. Dedicating I/O (meaning a full dedicated server for this point) to high-traffic static data is not only smart but commonplace (see CDNs). 2. Even if IIS is running on the same machine, it can be given its own drive spindle/s and NIC, which will then give it unobtrusive, dedicated I/O. 3. IIS, as Ron pointed out, will serve up the images as browser-cacheable. 4. IMail's web server is (shouldn't this be needless to say?) not as stable as IIS under load--not saying it isn't getting loads better, but still undeniable--and anything you can get off it will allow it to better serve its special purpose as a web messaging platform.
