[sllug-members]: smtp server

[Chris Brown]

Joey,

I agree with all the suggestions made. Just keep in mind that the
spamassassin component does not scale well in one machine volume wise. I
still strongly recommend it, but it is a resource hog. Give it plenty of
RAM and CPU if expecting more than say 50,000 to 100,000 emails a week.
