For those interested I'e found that an i486-33 with 8Meg of RAM and a
Gig or so of disk (a box generally purchasable for about US$50 on the
second hand market) can easily handle the mail losd from a mid-size
(few hundred employees == <100,000 messages per day). The only thing
you need to be careful of is setting the simultaneous execution
limits, both by count and system load.

Heck -- I've also run leafnode news servers on the same box along with
Exim and had them work fine.

One ruse it to run X, and use a GIF'ed version of winnt.bmp as the
root image. Rumour has it that it will fool most managers...
