I personally feel that the NIC drivers should "just work", and that there shouldn't be any problems with any NIC (whether due to an issue with the driver or with IMail).I just wanted to add an unfounded, untested, completely subjective remark regarding the desirability of using NICs that have "SERVER" in their designation. I suspect that these higher-end cards *may* have more built-in "smarts" than IMail Server can use or handle.
However, I've seen an IMail server that processed about 100MB of E-mail a day with a $5 D-Link (aka "Cheap home brand") NIC card with any connectivity issues. That's not to say that using cheap NIC cards is a good idea on a server, but it does go to show that a properly designed product (regardless of price) can do a great job even without "server" in the label.
On the other hand, there are times where a "server" label makes a world of difference. For example, U.S. Robotics made one of the best modems in the world (Couriers) as well as some junky modems for home users (Sportsters) that would be terrible to use on a server.
