System requirements
On November 12th, 2004 Anonymous (not verified) says:
Was wondering what kind of system requirements would be acceptable for processing and checking email for a business of less then 50 users?
I also was wondering if you can incorporate with Maia Mailguard? That looks like a very nice frontend. But I do not want to have users mess with email.
Just wondering.
