Whats impressive is that they need such big machines for what SIMS
does. I have a feeling they're trying to sell more servers :)
According to the white paper on their web site, about the independant
performance analysis of SIMS, I'd need 820 spindles in the message
stores spool for our userbase (approx.). Using sendmail and qpopper I
could probably do the same on less than 100 spindles.

For POP3? Its not that difficult to DIY :) Its a couple of hundred
lines of code, max.
