The software "appears" to be very inefficient, but I am not sure if it is the way that we have it configured. We're handling between 25k and 30k messages a day (~18k local, ~10k outbound) with Win2k on a dual P3-933Mhz...
* Should this hardware be able to handle that number of messages per day? Is anyone else out there handling similar amounts of mail on equivalent hardware?
Yes, your hardware should definitely handle the load that you have. With your hardware, you should be able to scan about 200,000 E-mails/day complete with spam and virus scanning. So something is definitely not working properly.
* Is the registry a known bottleneck for IMail? Should I consider writing a DLL to move over to SQL?
I'm not aware of the registry being a bottleneck for IMail -- I'm confident that switching to SQL won't provide better results.
* Could I perhaps modify IMail such that the web interface runs on a different server from where the mailboxes are stored?
Unfortunately, that isn't possible (well, it might be technically possible, but would be very difficult to implement).
