I suppose... probably would be a win for the larger servers anyway.

But for some... I'm not sure they could swing it.

I know that in places I've been, the mail servers were overtaxed as it

We only got upgrades when some suit sent himself mail to remember why he
was going back to his office, and it wasn't there yet when he arrived
with no idea what he was supposed to be doing... :)
