I don't know why some folks have so much problem withe Domino on the 
iSeries.  Like I said prior, we run three Domino Servers on our 810 
(and 730 before that).  Never had a problem in the six years running 
it.  We receive some 25,000 external email a day and probably route 
another 30,000 internal emails a day.  We've never had the 
router/server loop (must be all those Exchange servers sending 
malformed email messages - that's no joke.  Domino catches alot of 
that).  We don't allow mail relay so you don't have to worry about 
that.  We, like most people are behind a firewall.  The firewall takes 
all incoming messages and forwards it to a McAffee (sp?) device that 
scans for content as well as virus.  That device forwards it on.  On 
the iSereis we run Symantac Antivirus.  It scans all attachments when 
the copy is put into te mail nsf database.

The thing just works.
