See www.qmail.org -- there's a section on large servers.  The big-concurrency
patch is probably what you're looking for.

I have a dual PIII-550 with 1 gig, queue on a dedicated scsi-disk. It
sends out a mailinglist to the first 10.000 recipients in just over 3
minutes, with concurrencyremote set to 256.

So you should have no trouble at all  :)

[note that this machine is handling a couple local deliveries (NFS)
and forwards per second in the meantime, too]

Greetz, Peter.

My guess is that PeterM is sending unique emails, perhaps tailored TV
programs? My second guess is that PeterD is sending a single
untailored email to many recipients.

You got me right.

That is a relevant detail indeed :)

Peter:
echo "fs.file-max = 16384" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
echo "fs.inod-max = 65536" >> /etc/sysctl.conf

Try to re-compile the Qmail with conf-spawn: 509

Add to qmail rc "ulimit -n 4096"


Bye!

All good and well, except that I'm not looking for any hints :)
