We are currently planning on bringing our webhosting inhouse. We are going to use a PowerEdge 2500 server with 2X1GHz, about 2GB or RAM and 56GB of space. The server right now is being setup to run IIS5 and a survey program. We are considering bringing our e-mail in house as well - probably on a program called SLmail. Will this survey be able to support the web and about 50 users of e-mail or should we setup a second e-mail server - note we are trying to keep cost down some. Thanks for your help.

The biggest questions you need to answer are:
1. What is the expected workload for IIS?
and
2. What are the harware requirements for SLmail?

Assuming that the hardware requirements for SLmail are relatively minimal, and that your website does not experience super heavy usage, your server should be able to handle both without any problems.
