All e-mail handling will be entirely simulator-side.

As for limits, using disk swap is not a good idea since it will be orders of magnitude slower than memory and this will have an impact on the simulator. You want enough physical memory for your entire simulator.

For various discussion about performance limits, see [1], though this is an extremely complex and evolving area, so at best only rules of thumb can be given (which may be of varying accuracy).

linux-based is for the opportunity to implement an
MTA and get the capability of in-world email working. Everything is fine and 
all are working correctly. I have yet to
set up Exim4 yet, getting SQL rebuilt (part of reason to move to linux as well) 
due to table data messing up.*

*The technical question I have and I cannot seem to find an answer for it 
(maybe it is too greenhorn to be posted?) is -
does the region server monitor and push out the mail or does the linux-base 
robust server do this? Reason I ask is that
I am trying to find the limits of the linux-based region server (as far as how 
many regions can be put online, given the
hardware constraints I currently have) – and I may have just done that. Do to 
the complexities of what I understand the
linux-based computer operating system? I am told that the limits off the 
virtual swap partition is 2GB. *

*I would prefer to operate my region servers on a windows-based operating 
system quite simply because the virtual system
can be pushed to the limits of the hard drive. I would also entertain a Virtual 
Machine via software, but I wish to not
entertain it at the current time.*

*Can anyone provide a technical answer on all of this information I have 
provided, and please, when you are responding I
would like your real-world experiences and the pro’s and con’s of what you are 
recommending, if at all possible.*

*Thanks and looking forward to the techno responses,*
