I know it; I worked for an ISP looong ago (mid 90s to 2003) which used Macs as one of two platforms (the other was, obviously, Sun ;). However, I discarded Apple in 2005 after another bad move they made, but hey, not ranting ;) > I have been > evaluating it as a possible option in addition to dovecot and other > choices.

I did run a not-so-small user base on it on really weak hardware, and it performed very very well. I even ran it so serve an art gallery (about 25 to 30 IMAP users) on an Amiga 1200 with 68040 Turbo board and 128MByte RAM. It was running NetBSD, because this was my main platform back then (and OpenBSD discarded this port with 3.2, IIRC).
