(postfix spool of ~50-80MB, 256MB ram). I thought I'd post > this as a real-use datapoint. I'm using a postfix/FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE system as the central mail hub for the University of Louisville. I have softupdates enabled on the mail spool, I process about 75K messages per day, and I have absolutely no stability problems. The system is a PentiumPro 200 MHz with 128 MB RAM. Kernel was compiled on Sep 27 14:32:45 EDT 1999. This system in only a relay/router system. It handles no local deliveries. Just another real-use data point.
