Coming a bit late to the thread. You can check http://ixsystems.net Have a couple of their machines at work. Also had a machine that we had to send for service and they were very good with the repair. Also consider that no matter how good a machine you get, you should have a backup machine where you can move to if the primary dies. You did not mention if this was a SMTP or POP server. I recommend you do a setup like this: 1 - SMTP. Can be a low end box. 2 - Primary POP/Imap 3 - Secondary POP/Imap Try to have 2 and 3 be abble to accept the same disks in a removable format in case your motherboard blows up you can just move the drives. Also consider a few times per day to sync the content from the primary to the secondary. Specially if you are using IMAP.
