Are you sure you're going to get 10 000 000, not 100 000? Alex.

You need to specify your requirements much more precisely for us to help you. For instance: 1) 10M messages -- what size messages? 2) Is this ten million copies of a single identical message (i.e., the same message text to each of ten million recipients)? Or is this ten million personalized messages, each to a single recipient? 3) What sort of latency is acceptable to you? Do you require that all recipients (well, those whose mailservers don't defer the delivery) recieve it within 2 hours? Or 20 minutes? Or is 24 hours acceptable? 4) Are the recipients local? Virtual? Remote-to-close-networks? Remote-to-the-net-at-large? The 10M number implies an answer to this question, but we don't want to assume incorrectly. The list archive is full of discussions on large/huge mailing lists and hardware required to host them. Try searching the archive. You can find pointers to it at qmail.org.

They offer preconfiguerd qmail server for low, medium and high usage. That will give you an idea, i guess.

Re: 10 Million Messages per day
In my opinion, design your system as wide as possible and not as tall as possible. ie use a bunch of computers instead of one single tall one.
