Without actually testing and seeing which can be best optimized for your usage |
| 12 |
pattern? |

I run postfix without problems, but then, I don't have that much of a |
| 15 |
restriction on memory so I never really looked into it. |

I think the memory usage also depends on the kind of filtering you use. Postfix |
| 18 |
has some additional processes that help in reducing the load by filtering |
| 19 |
connections prior to actually receiving emails. (postscreen) |

I don't know enough to say how Exim handles that. |
