Are that the two servers multiplexing your traffic between inside and out? 46,000 messages/day are around 30 messages/minute total average and probably 60-90 messages/minute peak, and that's two machines in total? I see. I run as low as 400 messages/minute, peak being 1500/minute - on a single node. I know I can reach 2000-2200, if needed. The systems for internal delivery run at 100-200 messages/minute when operating regularly. > I have tried to run a mail system in the way that you are trying to and > I'm very happy that we have the resources here to run ours with lots of > spare capacity because it makes my life simpler. I sure wouldn't mind a few hundred systems more to make my life simple. ;-) But as I said: Only small sites can afford that.
