I'm running Exchange on a clone PC - AMD K6-2/300
with a 20GB IDE drive and 256MB ram. It supports about 200 users for mail,
internet mail, usenet groups and calendaring. Performance is fine, and the
thing stays up for months at a time (very unusual for an NT box...). One
advantage to running exchange is that you can easily install a virus scanning
package (I use McAfee GroupShield Exchange) and rest easy. I'm not sure
how you would scan attachments coming into an AS400 SMTP server. You'd
probably have to do the scanning on the client PC, and hope the client is up to
date with the virus DAT files (or that they haven't turned it off because it'll
boot faster that way...).
Exchange works. It's easy to find somebody
that knows how to tinker with it. It runs on cheap hardware and won't bog
down your AS400. Outlook is free. It's relatively easy to set up for
internet mail. It's a mature product. Plus, you can run Outlook Web
Access, which is a great gadget for getting at your email from the web without
messing around with VPN's, Shiva, etc.
I hate to plug Micro$oft, but I think sometimes
it's prudent to go with all the other lemmings.
