	Well... for starters let me just say our mail and web are ran on
seperate 533Mhz DEC Alphas... so preformance isn't a problem here.. but I
did set "O MaxMessageSize=2000000" in my sendmail.cf to reject any email
over 2MB. I did this for a couple reasons: 1) Got tired of users with 11MB
attachments calling and asking why it was taking so long to check their
mail which brought on removing POP locks when they disconnect'd during the
POP check. 2) Common sense tells ya if you have 2MB over modem download
mail isn't the most efficent way to send it. With that said... We have no
problems handling mail or web on either machine... Course the clock wants
to run a lil fast but xntpd fix's that lil problem.
