I have a windows server 2003 right now that does my antivirus / antispyware. It is a dual xeon 2.4ghz, 3gb ram, 2x 200gb IDE hard drives mirrored. With the Trend Micro Viruswall running, typical usage is 5% CPU and 650mb RAM. I'm thinking is has plenty of horsepower left to hold a Merak Icewarp mail server for about 80 users. Our daily mail volume is roughly 1000 messages.
What do you guys think? Go with it or rethink the idea? Since the Merak has antivirus and antispam built in, I may even disable the trend scanning since it's scrubbed through a Barracuda before it hits my network.
Do any of you have experience with the Merak software?
