That shouldn't be a problem, we already have plenty of server under all 
our MailScanner installs now. We can upgrade if needed. We are looking 
at the possibility of virtualizing all the servers and using ESX to 
manage them. We have big DR demands coming due in the coming months and 
the email systems have to be HA and major disaster proof.

for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
