Sunbelt/GFI posted some time ago about the Lyris situation (please try to keep up). It's due to a licensing change in the newer version of Lyris, and they didn't want to pay the higher price to unthrottle message delivery.

And I assume that if The Powers that Be are suggesting that's the cause it's not a configurable parameter. Not a very "commercial grade" feature if it can't be changed and it's ham-stringing your 16-core 32GB server sitting behind a 100Mb metro-ethernet link...[1] But then again: "Friggin' Lyris". -sc [1] Specifications not actual size -----Original Message----- From: Ben Scott [mailto:mailvor...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2012 11:01 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Good SBS list On Fri, Mar 23, 2012 at 8:33 PM, Steven M.

Well, for the sake of discussion: 175 * 3489 ~= 610K.

Adding more computrons won't make it go faster. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
