We have run 10's of thousands of email messages per day though a 6100/60 running EIMS 2.x in the past, and it never really broke a sweat, nor did it ever crash come to think of it.SSL is a CPU hog because of the need to encrypt/decrypt everything sent to and from it, so giving it a faster processing along with the database activities, and allowing the overpowered 8500 to handle email and/or DNS traffic if you are going to run your own DNS server.Just my opinion. ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
