from my business and only as a ballpark figure: - about 6k Mails/h with old hardware (single core, 4G RAM), no optimisation, just exim out of the box. - about 25k Mails/h relay-throughput outgoing with current hardware and light optimisation (split spool, db-files on ramdisk, ...) But to second my previous speakers: all this depends highly on the kind and size of mails you send, if you get gray- or blacklisted, performance of the rcpts servers, saturation of your internet-connection, performance of your nameserver, level of logging and so much more... Don't forget: it's simple and cheap to use several parallel relay-servers to improve the performance. Have a look at mails from Marc Perkel in the list archive. I think he has a setup much faster than mine ... -- Frank -- ## 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/
