Hard to say. We're running about 1.5 million connections per day (don't have a count on number of actual messages successfully received since a huge majority of the connections are rejected for one reason or another), but on the other hand we load balance between 4 servers that also run other apps. I'd guess that it would definitely be an issue if you are running the databases on a single disk store with that kind of load. Ram disk would definitely be a requirement I would venture, and even then, the locking load might still be significant. It's easy enough to test I guess. -- Dean Brooks [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
