I use exim to serve 4500+users, on a Pentium 133. Until a UPS failure recently, is had an uptime of 330+ days (dammit, I really wanted to get to 365!!) The only time exim broke down was when I stuffed up the configuration.
Exim does everything that I want, RBL, anti-virus with the exiscan program, and custom filters as well. I must admit that the server will soon be replace by a P3 800 (running exim as well).
