Right, actually the box will run an AV engine with antispam then
delivered to a ms exchange 2003 server (local lan), so no local
mailbox is being used.
The barracuda spam firewall 400 appliance handles my specs but i
cannot get info on what hardware they run, it's a 1u raid1, linux
hardened presentation but no idea of the cpu or ram.
And no, it won't be used for marketing, it's inbound only.
