should be noted that there's a *big* difference between 100000 unique mails and a mailer with 100000 bcc's. if it's the former (and you are using qmail), you'll wnat to do things like putting the queue on it's own disk, and making sure that logging goes to another disk. if it's the latter, the network should be the primary concern. in either case, qmail will handele it. dan On Sat, 19 May 2001, Jonathan Fortin wrote: > Well one tuned box can do a minimum of atleast > 200 * 86400 = 17,280,000 (17 million) emails per day. > which would be 720,000 mails per hour depending on the type of connection > and latency you got. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ask Bjoern Hansen" <ask@valueclick.com> > To: "Luke Kearney" <lukek@tkh.att.ne.jp> > Cc: "Free BSD" <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> > Sent: Saturday, May 19, 2001 6:41 AM > Subject: Re: clustering > > > > On Sat, 19 May 2001, Luke Kearney wrote: > > > > > The mail servers will need to handle up to 100000 mails in one mail out > so > > > am thinking to go with Qmail unless anyone can give me some better > > > alternatives. > > > > One welltuned box with qmail and dnscache should easily be able to > > send out 100000 mails per hour.
