Always considered myself a small time admin -- nothing like this. Kinda guessin' on the number of emails per day -- went high to be safe. Do alot of distance teaching so email is the main mode of comm with attachments (scads of them). > > I am running sendmail + mailscanner + sophos on a p2/500 > with 1/2gb ram and just enough disk to get by on. > > right now, (peak hours) the load on the box is 1.19 > But I am abuseing the box in other ways as well. > > Also, this is for 1000 users or so.

The bulk of the email come in between 9am to 4pm CST. ********** -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
