Please remove your "extras" when sending to this mailinglist, no matter how plesent it looks or feels your mail gets is 10 times bigger. You are not paying for more than 1 copy of this message in bandwith, but the nice guys that offer their bandwidth to give you and others the shared knowledge of the qmail community have to use X times the bandwidth compared to you (where X is the number of members) MVH Andr&yod; Paulsberg

I wouldn't want to estimate what the upper limit wil be like. I will say that I've handled something like 20 times that much mail in a day on a single Cyrix 166 with 96M ram, though. In fact, the upper limit might quite possibly end up depending on disk throughput, and you say nothing about your disk subsystem. However, for your 2000 emails, don't sweat it. -- David Dyer-Bennet / Welcome to the future! / [EMAIL PROTECTED] SF: http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ Minicon: http://www.mnstf.org/minicon/ Photos: http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/

I am about to take over the hosting of a website and want know if my 2 mail servers are going to be able to handle the volume. They are two P166's with 64M ram and plenty of disk space. There are about 2000 emails per day going through the existing mail server. My servers will be on a dedicated 10MB connection. How may mails a day should I be able to handle? Thanks in advance Ross Davis
