This was a very helpful answer. I only have about 60 users who will be
getting 20 messages at the most per day. It's on a P3 450 MHZ with 128
MB. It sounds like it should do fine. This box is only doing graylisting.
It receives the mail and sends it to an Exchange server.
The question I'm afraid is to ask is how many e-mails would we get if we
were doing no spam-blocking at all. That's a scary thought indeed.
