</span>You can do a *lot* with pretty minimal hardware, though. At work, we<br>
had 20,000 inboxes hosted on a single 2 CPU blade, with something like<br>
2GB of RAM. And it worked very, very well. I think it hosted webmail<br>
too, ran spamassassin, etc - but didn't host it's own LDAP directory.<br>
<br>
And if one's home mail server doesn't scream, who cares, right?<br>
