on occasion our customer service dept sends out broadcast fax to our customers alerting them to product issues. they would like to use mass email now but before i say yes, how do i find out if my exchange server both the software and hardware can handle sending out 3000 emails at once.

its a Dell 1750, 2.4 Proc, 1 gb ram, and on 100mb wire.

do you think the server can handle that?
