Ten minutes, an hour, all day, or seven days.
[ I'm sorry, but I get tired of people asking questions which, were
they asked of themselves, they would immediately recognize as
"stupid". If somebody asked *you* how to answer this question, how
would you do it? You'd probably want to know what kind of hardware
they had. You'd also want to point out that qmail will queue up
mail for seven days, so given that one of the 5000 people probably
have a bouncing address, the most true answer is always going to be
"seven days". So perhaps a better question would be "... to send
emails to 90% of 5000 people in the list." You'd also want to know
whether these are 5000 local users or 5000 remote users. So, how
*would* you answer this question? -russ ]
