We have done an eval of this same product (model 400).  It is very
cool in 
virtually every regard except one: performance.  We were facing 1+
hour 
mail delays (!) through the device when pumping less than 1,000,000 
messages per day through it.   Given that they claim it can handle ten

times that much, I am left wondering what happened.  Very
disappointing in 
that regard; the eval unit is being shipped back as a result.  --

Did you not receive some basic support from them during your
evaluation? A perceived 90% drop in performance is pretty significant
and I'd imagine that they'd be interested in helping to determine the
cause.
