Hey David, There's nothing particular to learn about Xeons, esp if you start with a distribution like CentOS -- it will pick the right kernel (and all available drivers, etc.) for you. You might need to build a second mail server and have this guy send (only) to both of them at the same time. Or maybe more than 2 ... :) m - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [qmailtoaster] new server hardware
I use SuperMicro 1U in various configuration (2x opteron, 2x xeon, 1x P4) and price is from 800$-2000$ depends of hardware. It's a big diffirent (and price) if you are running IMAP with a lot of users, i use 3WARE 12ch SATA RAID and 12x250Gb (RAID 5 + HOT SPARE) with 120 email accaunts, after 1 year im on cca.50% remaining space :( On 2007.03.08, at 01:08, Ryan Gibbons wrote: David Milholen wrote: I need some ideas on a new 2u or 1u 19 server for sending about 50,000 emails in a day.

You'll be limited by the concurrency, but it will queue up all the messages and send them when the concurrency clears up. I have a P4, 2.4G with 512M of RAM (80G drive) that does a total of 12,000 emails a day with NO delays or problems. I'm also not sending 12,000 emails to it at one time, or asking it to deliver emails to 12,000 mailing list subscribers either.

Re: [qmailtoaster] new server hardware
That is about what I have now. It seems to do really well with about the same customer base you have, but I have one business client on there that sends about 35,000 emails with a maillist manager. I installing the new mail server with more horse power to take care of my business clients for the outgoing service. Maybe set up replication for the old server. thanks David Milholen wrote: I need some ideas on a new 2u or 1u 19 server for sending about 50,000 emails in a day.

Re: [qmailtoaster] new server hardware
Sounds really good,but I am steering towards some pentium based hardware so that I do not have to go looking for specialized drivers for linux.
