I have it running on a high-powered Xen VPS (with 2G RAM available and  
eight processor cores shared between the VPS instances) and it works fine.  
Only processing ~800 messages per day so probably not a very useful test  
though. I'll be moving more mail through it soon, so might get to see how  
well it works then. My other server, non VPS but with the same memory but  
only twin processors, manages 10,000 messages per day without much problem.

HTH,

Anthony
