i'm using esx free edition and is working ok (4 months), there are multiple operating sistems on the server (quad core, 8g ram, for qmail I have 2g ram and 2 core, ~600 users)

the great advantage is the instant backup.

Yeah, I was not running it on Lamborghini hardware. Guess a better question to the poster should be what hardware he's running, and what metrics does he expect on mail load (# of users, # of messages, size of messages, etc.)


Good questions.

I've been running toasters on VMWare Servers for several months now. Small Business sized domains. Runs just fine.

Jake's right about clock skew though. Here's an excerpt from logwatch:
--------------------- XNTPD Begin ------------------------
 Time Reset 37 times (total: 96.042284 s  average: 2.595737 s)
 Total synchronizations 167 (hosts: 3)
 ---------------------- XNTPD End -------------------------
The severity varies by day. This is on a P4 2.6GH processor.

The skew doesn't appear to be nearly as bad on a Dual Core (2160 1.80GH) processor though:
 --------------------- XNTPD Begin ------------------------
 Total synchronizations 4 (hosts: 2)
 ---------------------- XNTPD End -------------------------
Again, the severity varies by daily.
