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.
