Server Specifications?

[Denis Beauchemin]

Jason,

Here we've seen the following flow of email in the last 7 days:
       Msg_fr=206451     Msg_to=187321   Msg_total=393772  Msg_err=62207
(KB) Bytes_fr=18579415 Bytes_to=10433142 Bytes_total=29012557

We're running on a P3 1.2GHz, 1GB RAM, 1 73GB Ultra-SCSI disk under Red
Hat 7.2, McAfee VirusScan, SpamAssassin and of course, MailScanner 3.

We're prepping a new server with RH 7.3 and MailScanner 4 that will
load-balance with the current server.  We're not doing this because the
current server isn't able to cope with our email flow but because we
want redundancy.
