I just got a call from someone wanting to be able to send 50k email messages a second. Most of it in bursts of a few seconds long. It has to do with some kind of gaming application. I'm just trying to picture in my mind what kind of hardware could do that.
What the Exim record for how fast a server can send email? Anyone have some numbers? As to being fast, I'm thinking that lots of ram would be necessary. The you put the queues in ram disk and you have a fall back server so it tries to deliver one time and if it fails to laterals the message off to another server that queues the messages for normal retry delivery. And I'm thinking you would have a separate DNS server dedicated to caching lookups.
