yes, it's old but stable. so far so good as this running in my production with anti-spam email gateway filtering installed more than 2 years. im thinking for an upgrade the RAM and add 1 more CPU processor in. maybe upgrade the freebsd version to 5.3 version and above. do i still need to build the custom kernel for 5.3? do u hv the file? can send me the instruction? is 5.3 stable enought to support 2 X Intel Xeon 2.8Ghz processor and 4GB RAM. i seen many forums that some only can detect 3GB RAM instead of 4GB RAM.
