Without those changes in place (more exctly, using the Debian/Linux defaults) a Dual PII-333 on the end of a Tier 2 T3 has regularly sustained just under 1,400 deliveries (to target MX) per minute for me. While I've not maintained that level for more than single digit minutes (not enough traffic) that sums to 80K messages per hour. I've been happy enough with those numbers for the box in question that I haven't looked further. And no, it doesn't even begin to saturate available b/w. > disable_dns_lookups = yes I do have this set. I also have a local copy of BIND 9 listening on localhost only. > mailq FWVLIW I typically have between 1,500 and 2K messages in my queue on that machine (my hobby box), all for slow/down MXes. -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas.
