How much bandwidth would you need to provide if you were offering email-only solutions? You'd also need a little space to temporarily store the messages on the server, right? :confused:

Thanks :)

Thanks Darth. I'll try giving a little bandwidth just in case it's needed.

Bandwidth requirements depend mainly on your clients. If you have businesses that send large files back and forth then you will obviously need some more transfer. E-mail seems to be the #1 used service for our customers, but accounts for about 40 percent of our total transfer per month. We run dedicated mail servers which see a fair amount of traffic during the business day.
