[SonicWALL]- placement of smtp mail servers

[Andrew P. Kaplan]

I have two questions about my Sonicwall 300   ONE: I'm curious to learn the load capacity of a Sonicwall 300. According to the info the transfer capacity is over 100 megs a second. Does this mean if the Sonicwall is connected to a 2.5 meg connection that the sonicwall could never be overloaded with too much traffic.   TWO Currently I have three medium volume web servers behind the 300. I would like to add a SMTP server that processed about a gig of data a day. The box is a BSD box running Postfix and SSH only so it's pretty hard. Should the box be placed behind the firewall and should it be on a regular port or the DMZ.   Thanks for any and all comments.   [-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-]   Andrew P.
