When you get over 20-30 emails/sec.. 1200-1800 / minute ... or over 100,000 emails an hour, that is getting to be a high traffic server <g> postfix/mysql no problem handling what you need. I am not familiar with TeaPOP, and in looking at their site, they have been out for a few years, and I have not come across any prior security history problems with them, that I have heard, unlike Qpopper, which has a very real history of security issues.. I would say, give it a go... on high volume servers, the focal area of concern is disk I/O, as this will be your slowest area. -- Gary
