System and Network Requirements.

Minimum Requirements

* Computer that is always on.

* Full-time, dedicated Internet connection (1.544 Mbps minimum).

* Static IP address, forward and reverse DNS.

* Microsoft SQL only: 5 user license for Microsoft SQL Server (English version only)

Memory and Bandwidth Recommendations

The requirements below are general guidelines, but your needs may vary depending on other factors. For example, if you are sharing your bandwidth with other applications, you may need more bandwidth than is recommended below for your license. If your system is low on resources or if you're seeing performance problems, adding additional RAM, CPU speed and hard drive speed may alleviate these problems.

IMPORTANT  The MailStreams feature (new as of ListManager 10.0) may cause a substantial increase in CPU usage over what you are accustomed to in earlier versions of Aurea List Manager. This is due to the extended queries MailStreams use when there are blocked domains.

The recommendations below are based on the Intel architecture. Customers using non-Intel architecture should choose components that match these recommendations for their architecture.

Bandwidth
