IIS SMTP is only good if you have a betting pool where you're all wagering on how many minutes before it gets overloaded and dies. With the amount of email you're pushing, don't bother. One good dictionary attack on top of your ordinary load and IIS SMTP is kaput. Sam Jeff Andreou wrote: > We currently have a linux machine running exim as a gateway for our > iMail server.
