SIMS will perfectly fit your needs: it needs less than 1 MB RAM and runs as application or as extension. Turn off everything than SMTP (set channels to zero) and - preferably - configure SMTP to just forward mails to an other mailserver if possible. This way SIMS has nearly nothing to do on your webserver machine. At 7:40 Uhr 22.06.1998, Dave Spaulding wrote: >We have some trouble with eims that sims seems to handle also.

We could not get EIMS working for drop-in accounts - accounts which handle all mail for a domain, regardless of the user. Eudora told us that user-checking cannot be disabled in the current version, maybe in a future release.We use SIMS for WebCat-mail, but do not let SIMS itself send the mails (and making smalltalk with other servers...) SMTP is configured to forward everything to a real mailserver. The purpose for this setup is to reduce cpu load on the webserver machine. As we started to use from-addresses of user entered fields we ran into the same problem again, because the mailserver was EIMS. Now the mail is sent to a Linux/sendmail and everything works fine. So, if you use EIMS to handle WebCat mail (even via SIMS) than do not set the from-field to the clients address or use an other mailserver.
