That is not ONLY smtp traffic we extensively use IMAP
and there are currently 400/500 IMAP processes on the
machine , this protocol is a pretty bandwidth cruncher

the machine support also POP3 + WEBMAIL traffic so ...
the more it will have bandwidth, better will be the
email service given to my users.
