   That definitely qualifies as an "adult" disk subsystem.

   As a data point, my mail server is a Netra T1-105 (440MHz/1MB cache) 
with 256MB of RAM and fast SCSI disks.  It runs Postfix and the latest 
release of SpamAssassin for about sixty people, as well as Mailman with 
several high-volume lists, as well as SSL-enabled IMAP, with no 
problems.  It's running Solaris 9.
