[Declude.JunkMail] OT: Windows 2003 Web Edition for a mail server

[Matt]

After watching things run for a couple of weeks on Windows 2003 Server, I have concluded that my IMail/Declude setup is running +30% more efficiently than it did on Windows 2000.  Because of this, I am thinking of getting rid of my Windows 2000 installations and replacing them with Windows 2003. I haven't noted much discussion around here regarding Windows 2003 Web Edition as a suitable host for IMail/Declude.  From what I have read, I don't believe there are any limitations that would prevent this setup from running properly, though I'm not yet positive at this point.  Here is a link to the matrix that Microsoft has published:     http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/evaluation/features/compareeditions.mspx The only thing that stands out is the limitations to 2-Way SMP whereas Standard Edition supports 4-Way SMP.  I'm not sure if dual hyperthreaded processors are the equivalent of 2- or 4-Way SMP.  Maybe someone could offer up some knowledge there.  Even if so, the hyperthreading can be disabled, and I'm not convinced that having 4 processors/instances is beneficial to the environment. I also know that MS SQL server can't be run on Web Edition, but that isn't an issue here.  All of the other things that it says it won't support are things that I would have disabled anyway. So does anyone here have any experience with Web Edition and the limitations, and have an opinion about whether or not this would work with an IMail/Declude setup (or for that matter another E-mail platform since IMail will soon enough be 86'd).
