I have been using Scalix 10.0 on Centos 4.x for some time.
It runs well on a 600Mhz Pentium 4 with 512Mb memory. Of course I only
have a dozen active users, but boy do I get spam...
It has problems with broken XML spam that occationally requires me to
unload a mailbox, delete everything, then reload it. This is fixed in
Scalix 11.
I am running multiple domains with little difficulty. Oh, and my Scalix
server is also my primary DNS server. I use Webmin a lot, even though I
have over 10 years with BIND. And also my little bit of web serving.
Not much at all really.
I have been PLANNING on switching to Scalix 11, but my Round TUIT has
been otherwise occupied. So now I am waiting for Centos 5 for the
Scalix 11 move. I am putting up a test system, shaking it down, then
setting up a migration plan where I back up the current server, rebuild
everything then reload.
It will be fun, but I kind of think this is the best way. Maybe I
should see how much another Compaq SFF will cost me so I can do a flat
switch-out. (but then I have to build a box with the same host name, IP
address, etc.).....
I am really happy with Scalix.
