I seriously doubt that you'll experience hiccups like that. Until I moved anent to a different internet provider, I was connected via DSL and I ran my own mail server (postfix) 24/7 on an Athlon Thunderbird (1000 mhz, which initially had 256 megs of RAM (this was in 2001) and later memory was increased to 768k. Even though I was doing some rather heavy processing most of the time, including not only watching movies, but doing a ton of video conversions (some having run overnight if not longer) I never noticed any slowdown that could be attributable to postfix and spamassassin. I didn't run a mail server really, in that I wasn't serving mail for users other than myself, but I was subscribed to some rather busy mailing lists (including this one), so postfix was kept busy, since I rarely if ever did pop3. -- thanks for letting me change the magnetic patterns on your hard disk. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
