We currently have one Imail server to handle all incoming and outgoing
requests. A client of our has expressed an interest in a mass e-mailing
program. As the administrator of the mail server, I have concerns with
overhead and lag for all of our users. That said, what would be the best
thing to do with regards to sending out 40K emails per day but *not*
affecting the receiving/sending of mail of our existing user base?
don't bug Imail users with list delays/overheads/queueing problem.
Use a an old PC of 1 GHz, 1 GB, and FreeBSD/Linux, plus Mailman or
Ecartis at MLM and postfix as MTA. All free. Setting up an MLM is
perfect pretext for getting into *nix, if you aren't already there (I
assume you aren't since you started this topic)
Would I be able to purchase additional hardware and software
Don't waste your $$$. I ran a list server on 800 MHz PC and got 30K
msgs/hour (1 msg per entire list, not custom per-user msg).
