Thanks for the info. We're upgrading the server to a Dell (Dude!) with 1 ghz of ram and 2.4ghz Intel 4 processor.
The problem I have with this is that 5 years ago with a lesser machine than a 233 with 128mb of ram, service providers were able to provide a great deal of throughput on their mail servers. We've got a list of 150,000 email addresses. Right now, we're using Cold Fusion to spool all of the messages and then send them along to the SMTP server. The whole process is taking about 20 hours to complete. We'd like to be able to set up an email list in IMAIL and send one (1) email to it with our newsletter, etc. We've got a T-1 for dedicated internet access and have cable modem if we'd like to push traffic out through another access point. IMAIL seems to be processor intensive, not RAM intensive.
