I am currently running Imail 8.05 HF2, Declude Junkmail and Antivirus on a Compaq DL380 with a P3 733 with a gig of ram and SCSI Raid array, 7000 users averaging 500,000 inbound emails, counting trapped spam and approximately 30,000 outbound daily and have no performance issues.

I'd like to know what kind of performance other users were getting out of it, as I think the server is under pretty high load and not sure if it is Imail generally sapping CPU cycles or else we've got something in the config horribly wrong. At the moment the setup we're running is: 2.8ghz P4, 1gb DDR, 80gb 7200rpm HDD: Imail server, running POP3, SMTP, Webmail, and Queuemgr 2.4ghz P4, 512mb DDR: Running a sending only service. The 2.8 machine routes all outgoing messages through the 2.4 to relieve the load a bit. The 2.8 machine is only a temporary machine that we're testing on, and there's a proper Xeon machine coming with SCSI RAID etc. This is a fairly average day's usage for us: SpamContent 8464 LocalDeliver 29084 RemoteDeliver 9376 The 2.8 machine is coping with this load, but only just. It regularly has 100% CPU usage for several minutes which causes the POP3 and webmail service to slow down. The current plans are to put two Debian boxes before the Imail one, to cleanse incoming mail and for routing outgoing email. Spam/virus filtering will be done at this level so Imail has less traffic to process. I'd like to know what kind of hardware/software setup you guys are running and how much mail it's happy with processing. Any tweaking suggestions etc would be appreciated too.
