…Google-fu to find out what other people use. What is hot on Github, what do people on StackOverflow suggest, which tools and software is still actively supported, that kind of things. The most recent stuff on SRS was from 2003 or 2004, and of course, mail is something well established but was there really no one interested in SRS for the last 8 years? Or is Postfix the problem?

…servers by adding more CPU and RAM. SSD has been added in some cases. Even their flagship StackOverflow product runs on a single server. New machines have been bought, but very few.
