I hope it's a good idea because we are about to do it :-) We shall upgraded
our central mailhubs to Solaris 9, exim to 4.05 and SA to the latest
version. So far it has worked well, but they sometimes come under a load
when a message arrives with a lot of recipients (it seems). That will be
because we have SA checking the message for each recipient - not the best
way but the easiest to implement for us. The mailhubs are Ultra 10's, and
very soon drop down to a low utilisation level.
Hope it helps,
John.
