How much horsepower do I need for scanning 5000 emails a day?
Using sendmail & mailscanner.
Thanks.
not much.
Unless you mean emails for 5000 users a day. Then I would say
big fat piles of machine.
I am running sendmail + mailscanner + sophos on a p2/500
with 1/2gb ram and just enough disk to get by on.
right now, (peak hours) the load on the box is 1.19
But I am abuseing the box in other ways as well.
Also, this is for 1000 users or so. I am going to guess
that 5000 emails a day would just be the spam that I get.
I suppose an important question would be
how many messages are moving in and out during peak?
I mean if you plan to move 4k of messages between noon and
noon-fifteen you will need a beefier box.
