Unless you have good QOS routing be sure that mail server is somewhere
where you don't have voip phones. I had a mail server at an office with
400k sdsl. I would be on a call and let an incoming call go to voice
mail. The incoming email with wav file attached often caused audio
dropout if the other party was speaking. Same thing happened when people
mailed in large msoffice file attachments. I moved the mail server and
webmail to another location and that cleaned it up pretty well.
