I currently maintain two mail relay machines for a corporation of that size. They are P266's with 192MB RAM, 8GB disk, and are currently running FreeBSD 2.2.7 with Exim 1.90. I recommend Exim highly over Sendmail - much easier and more flexible configuration. Each of these machines is dual homed to an internal and external network segment and Exim is configured to use the appropriate interface when forwarding by looking at domain names, etc. Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
