Is that it.. hmm too easy ;)

jeroen at purgatory:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | head -n 7
processor	: 0
vendor_id	: GenuineIntel
cpu family	: 5
model		: 2
model name	: Pentium 75 - 200
stepping	: 5
cpu MHz		: 99.727

jeroen at purgatory:~$ cat /proc/meminfo | head -n 1   
MemTotal:       125860 kB

Thus:
Server: DEC Intel Multia (Single Intel Pentium 100)
RAM: 128MB (couldn't find more SIMM's :)
OS: Debian unstable
Number of Users: 7 IMAP of which 4 clients checking mail near 24/7
Auth: PAM
Mailbox size: 2Gb Maildir / ~1000 new mails/day
Storage: Toshiba 20Gb 2.5" IDE
Version: 1.0.beta3-3 (debian unstable)
Clients: Evolution (debian unstable) & Thunderbird on Windows.
Connectivity: IPv6 (used mostly ;) and IPv4

And that box does a lot of other tasks making it very heavy. But as
dovecot is super-fast it runs perfectly fine on such a box.
(http://unfix.org/~jeroen/network/ ;) for a funnier fact, when this box
had some disk issues a couple of weeks ago I used one of the  Linksys
NSLU2's in the list on the mentioned url for dovecot access. Those are
ARM 266mhz's with only 32mb of mem and even *that* works fine.

Thanks to Ytti for pointing out at the time that dovecot was the best
IMAP server, which IMHO it is ;)

A lot of kudo's and repect to Timo for such a great product (+s, as
irssi is also great ;) !!!

Greets,
 Jeroen
