When I was at Tufts, we were looking at it as a potential solution for
campus-wide mail. I've been running it at home since the end of last
year, too.

It's a bit resource-heavy, since it's almost all java (with mysql used
as the mailbox database. My home system is a 2.4ghz p4 with 3GB and a
6-disk raid-5 set (the next server will be raid-1, but this one was
already in place as a nfs/smb server and seemed like a good place to try
zimbra).

The webmail side is terrific, especially the full text searching (even
of attachments). It's also a solid IMAP server.
