I've sent 59 msg/sec (50 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1) one day through emi2, with no problem at all (well, except that I had checking malloc and if I don't limit the http connections, store.lock would grow and crash kannel, but I didn't had time to recompile kannel with malloc=native) I guess I had some luck that day (for the 50 msg/sec) or else too less time to send the messages in time (210k in almost 1 hour)
