I wouldnt recommend SIMS for anything smaller than a ISP-level
enterprise mail server.. for something small on a SS10, apache/qpopper/
sendmail (or postfix or qmail) is just fine.

(heck, the first ISP I worked for, ionet.net, ran user shell + email +
web pages + radius, etc, all off a single SS10 with a SM41 and 192mb
RAM... this was with about 1500 users, with about 70 of them using the
shell at any given time.. system response was GREAT...)
