during the whole ILOVEYOU fiasco, our mail server was hit with approx 5000
messages during the first hour. granted the box was not particularly happy
about this, but it did keep chugging away. the box was a pentium 100Mhz with
32MB ram and a 4GB drive. however, one of our clients had a PIII 500 with
256MB ram and a 20GB hd, but was running exchange. their box was down after
that first hour.

I am about to take over the hosting of a website and want know if my 2 mail
servers are going to be able to handle the volume.
They are two P166's with 64M ram and plenty of disk space. There are about
2000 emails per day going through the existing mail server. My servers will
be on a dedicated 10MB connection.
How may mails a day should I be able to handle?
Thanks in advance
