Dear Mark
You mentioned that your Sendmail processes more than 100,000 mails a day.
Is your sendmail running on one server? May I know your hardware
configuration for your server(s)? What version of Linux kernel and sendmail
are you using? Did you have to modify your kernel and/or sendmail?
Is the POP server running on the same server(s)?
Sorry for asking so many questions. I need some advice because I want to
setup a Linux + Sendmail server to replace a Sun Enterprise 4000 server
running Solaris 2.5.1 as our SMTP/POP server. We want to sell off the Sun
Server to save costs. I am adviced that switching to M$ NT is out of my
mind.
Thanks in advance.
Peter
