I'm going to install qmt on vmware esxi with hardware: Sunfire X4150
Quadcore 1.6GHz, 8GB RAM. QMT has 4GB RAM and 2 core (expanable) for approx
1000 users. The remain of resources for other services.

- With that hardware, should I install qmt on vmware esxi? Should I use this
configuration for production use?

The advantages of vmware infrastructure are administration and flexible.
Other side, someone share the disavantages of the vmware. vmware make a
middle layer between hardware and QMT's OS. Does this layer affect the
performance, the security of QMT?

Thanks

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.)
