Uh, it must have been early morning for you. Look in the line above. See
those letters after the 2.4?

It will depend on how much traffic you expect. I have a server running on a
600MHz machine. If you get 10,000 hits per second, you will certainly need
a more robust system. If you get 2 a week, you will need less.
(what is courier imap?) Also what is your connection to the net or to
whoever is going to be connecting to this server? Is it a 33Kb modem or is
it a 10Gbit ethernet?

I suspect that the speed of the disks is more important than the speed of
the cpu. Also the amount of memory you have if you expect a lot of hits.
