I serve apache (~80 vhosts, with low traffic), IMAP, IMAPS, POP3, shell,
LDAP, IMP and a few local home-brew services, off a dual Piii 1GHz, 2GB ram.
By far the busiest vhost is the IMP one, with ~800 single users a day out
of a possible 10,000 set, pop3 users range about 400 a day, using outlook
or pmail *shrug*.<br>
<br>
Since kernel 2.4.18, it runs smoothly, with an occasional ldap/nscd glitch
now and then (twice a month maybe).<br>
<br>
Oh, and Debian 2.2 with IMP 2.2, php3 (migrating to php4 and imp 3.1 soon).<br>
