>I know that some people on this list are running SIMS on fairly old >120Mhz machines (perhaps even slower) and they work just fine.
I currently run 3 different mail servers (2 dedicated to domains, and one that handles 5 different domains). The FASTEST of the machines is a Performa 630, which is a 50mhz 040. It has 36mb of ram and a 500mb hard drive. NEVER CHOKES, not one bit, and it probably pushes 2000+ emails a day and about 100 accounts. I have also run SIMS successfully (and am still doing so as a backup server for about a dozen domains) on a PowerBook 160, which is a 16mhz 030 with 10mb RAM and an 80 mb HD. I ran that as THE server for my fire department (SIMS, Netpresenz, MacHTTP) for about a year before it was upgraded to a centris 610 (20mhz 040, 36mb ram, 250mb HD). Not because of a problem with the laptop, but because the centris became available, and it enabled me to pool servers together (that centris is now the above mentioned server running 5 domains, it runs SIMS, QPQ, and NetPresenz, and although QPQ chokes on heavy loads, SIMS runs just fine and pushes about 1000 emails a day and about 200 accounts over the 5 domains). And when I FIRST started with SIMS, I had it running on MY machine (this one I am typing at) in the background, along with MailTron Gateway to collect a unified POP account to feed into SIMS, and IPNetRouter to give the network access to the internet over a 56k dialup. All was run in the background while I used my machine for regular daily work. This one is a PowerMac 6500/250 (250mhz 603ev, at the time 64mb RAM and 3gig HD). SIMS again, never posed a problem. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
