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. > i am just wondering, is there any product which can do the > messanging proxy function similar to the one in the SIMS? For POP3? Its not that difficult to DIY :) Its a couple of hundred lines of code, max. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
