Hi André,
thank you for your reply

well what if i would host hMailserver too (using MySQL as DBMS) ???
i would use just to share (setting hMail as IMAP) email over the LAN (again the previous 2 PCs)
hMail will act as proxy downloading from my ISP pop3 server then my 2 PCs over the LAN will accces hMai as IMAP

Do you think it will affect much on Sugar performance ???

Thanks in advance,
Stefano

Hi Stefano

Actually when some one configure a lots of services in the same server Sugar will be hosted the performance may be affected.
We have configured two servers for SugarCRM stack, one for the Sugar it self and email server and another one dedicated for the database.
Some customers use 3 servers, 1 for applications, one for databases and 1 for email server.
if the volume of newsletter won´t increase so you may feel free for consider this strategy.

Kind regards
