I would think that might be a typo? I can tell you that I've seen
100,000 messages on a quad 200mhz pentium pro with 1gb ram. Running
Sendmail, Mailscanner, ClamAV, Spamassassin, SPFmilter and spamcop. Plus
it was running Snort in sniffer mode for the whole DMZ. A Pentium IV and
1gb of ram you've got no worries.
