what's the maximum emails/sec 'sendmail' on gentoo ? on 2.4 gigs 64 bit opteron it's 30 emails/sec any higher number any one ?
Email throughput is highly dependent on how you're generating the emails, RAM, disk I/O, number of emails sitting in your queue, how you've ordered your emails, whether bounce handling is local or on another server, spam filtering if any, and your server software. Even the speed of your DNS server can start to play a part.
30/sec puts you a bit above 2.5 million a day which is probably the top end of what you might see in the real world.
