Then again, let no-one think I'm selling Imail short. It has worked well for us over the last couple of years. You be the judge: I'm running Imail systems in a configuration that uses a homemade VB mail composer (building Imail-format messages by selecting data from SQL) to "drop" messages into the spool. The systems handle the bulk of the mail (each handling 1/4 of our clients' message campaigns) , another plays a "clean-up" role against extremely heavy-load campaigns and the last is the actual mail domain that houses the user-accounts (and thus receives the bounces, replies, removes, etc). Each system is capable of sending --- on a poor day, mind you --- 30,000 messages per hour for a total of 120,000 messages per hour. A great day is more like 160,000 per hour... while the best ever was 210,000 in an hour and ran that way for 4.5 hours before returning to a modest 130,000 per hour. We're presently looking at a SendMail MTA/Switch configuration --- but are still trying to develop our own in-house injector for Qmail. We've tried gating to PostFix on FreeBSD, but honestly... we just don't have the time to overcome our lack of experience to have `em handle the load-goal we need it to meet and surpass by 100% or better. Honestly, if we could overcome the limitations of Imail --- and we've stretched those perceived limits to an extreme, perhaps beyond any conceived breaking point --- I would be happy to stick with Imail. Anyone know a programmer/developer with mad skills in VB, C Sharp and/or Perl (relating more specifically to custom mail injectors)....? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Anthony Abby Sent: Friday, August 16, 2002 10:21 PM To: IMail_Forum Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Spool overflow...how to kick start > If I dump iMail and switch to Exchange Server 2000, will I have the same > problem?

Postfix can make short shrift of those 15k emails... Exchange is a serious resource hog.....
