Re: e-mail servers

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom,

Larry and I use CommuniGate Pro which runs on IBM i natively as well as 
on Linux on POWER.

That said, I have to wonder if the problem you are experiencing is the 
email server or the work management/memory allocation issue instead.  
The email server on IBM i runs quite well and if that's all it's doing 
it should run every bit as fast as any other server.   The mail server 
framework does need a restart now and then as well.
