I don't know anything about PowerMTA, but I know that you could get considerably higher performance than Exim from different architectures. Exim has one process spawned per concurrent delivery attempt. This is kind of like Apaches pre-fork mpm where there is one process per concurrent HTTP response. An MTA which uses an event model based on something like epoll, depending on the OS, could perform much better. - -- Mike Cardwell https://grepular.com/ http://cardwellit.com/ OpenPGP Key 35BC AF1D 3AA2 1F84 3DC3 B0CF 70A5 F512 0018 461F XMPP OTR Key 8924 B06A 7917 AAF3 DBB1 BF1B 295C 3C78 3EF1 46B4 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGGBAEBCgBwBQJQQ2+pMBSAAAAAACAAB3ByZWZlcnJlZC1lbWFpbC1lbmNvZGlu Z0BwZ3AuY29tcGdwbWltZTgUgAAAAAAVABpwa2EtYWRkcmVzc0BnbnVwZy5vcmdt aWtlLmNhcmR3ZWxsQGdyZXB1bGFyLmNvbQAKCRCdJiMBwdHnBBu/CACkwZPGR7Se fzWrU8YW4LEUOb73HCrK3qMPhVOWXvvFth3qx4peQWZXEm6MROYUDdiyTq/dNyS+ 2qSsvkcIUtsBgFv+kr8B0Dxpiz3wUJrmD+5EoAGY9YAPm5q3QX3Py3SlrcDs5URa 4kBRcZj4qwRqh7B3gQ0Ceb3+kzuhONACPdvidj1lu2cjr1HOxBdeFnW4j+jM6VYS LOTZKMjc+vdgBxPhC/TCBUK0eCN9lqQXkD9INFbtmHyMnLPvZxXgvtD92SCZrHnH rkfcwvEoZT5lMnpoiGbQ2Nx/mCWaWoMHajsFMTNlCgis0xf9031hiH+2l1JyXe1L FMUr8zZMmbX0 =7+sL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ## List details at https://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/
