I think you need to explain exactly what it is you are doing on the that server as far as processing for spam and viruses so that your experience can be properly quantified, as it appears your configuration is far from normal, and therefore your experience would be radically different.   John Tolmachoff Engineer/Consultant/Owner eServices For You   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of S.J.Stanaitis Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2005 6:51 AM To: IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] OT: Windows-based SMTP gateway   It was IIS5 actually, taking email messages as the inbound SMTP server, processing them for spam and viruses, then forwarding them to Imail. :)  Going by my experience, it was wholly inefficient.  I congratulate you on your marvelous statistic, but for my situation it simply did not work.  Mind you I could say I was being slightly inaccurate, as the server only got overloaded once or twice a week, not in a matter of minutes. :) Cheers, Sam Sanford Whiteman wrote: 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.       We  pass a 1 million msgs/day through single MS SMTP boxes, so I'd say your  comment is not borne out by experience. Maybe you're thinking of IIS 4.   --Sandy     ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   SpamAssassin plugs into Declude!   http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/   Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases!   http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/   http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/     To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/       -- S.J.Stanaitis Network Administrator, Decorative Product Source http://www.dpsource.com/   [EMAIL PROTECTED] (877)-650-8054 x160
