Wrong approach.
He could keep his current server for the locgical list processing, and
undisruptivelyh add something like an old P200 or better with 128 megs fo
RAM running FreeBSD + postfix as a relay-only mail gateway for doing the
nasty task of actual mail delivery. But if history is any guide, offers of
help don't get accepted. For a list this large and active and important to
its members, CF-talk deserves better performance.
For Imail (or any brand mailserver, even Michal's ), I've got a site ...
http://IMGate.MEIway.com
... that shows, and several ISP's done it successfully, how to build such a
simple "appliance", including step-by-step for Installing FreeBSD and the
postfix mailer. It would also give the CF-talk list Internet's best
anti-spam defense and DNS validations. A machine like that could easily
handle several 100,000 msgs per day.
Michael's DNS is also screwed up so, but he won't answer my repeated mails
about how easily to fix it.
