I'm contemplating converting our mail system to AMS in the hopes
that that would stop our constant mail (mainly flock) problems.
We've got about 100 workstations on 3 AFS servers.  I'd like to
hear pros and cons of AMS - I've heard it's *big*, and a pain to
administer, but I'm willing to put up with some amount of hassle
if it'll solve our mail problems in a _robust_ way.

If you've faced a similar decision, I'd be interested in knowing
what you did about it and why.

Thanks.
