Mail servers are there own animal, performance doesn't apply in the same way it does with a web server for instance. Honestly, you are asking the wrong questions. The issues you will most likely face are tuning issues for large numbers of processes and files on disk. The mail server software you use will have way more impact on your performance and capacity then the OS will. If you want more specific answers you need to be more specific in your question. Give some details about what you need to do, what capacity you need, and you will probably get some helpful answers. You just aren't givin= g enough information to get anything useful in return other than 'ya freebsd will work fine'. Chris
