Separate the mail services -- mail services tend to me I/O intensive once you have many accounts on the box (you don't want user accounts on your router/firewall).

We want to isolate the network physically from a larger network and just masquerade the 100-200 hosts through this one Linux box. We are also hoping to add web, ftp, etc functionality if the load would not be that "high" on our box. We are planning to use MDK 8.1 on: single Athlon 1.6 GHz 256 RAM (more if required) 2 NICs (more if required) HD space is not a problem or would a Dual Pentium III 500 be better? Any suggestions?
