A single IMail server can typically handle X00,000 E-mails/day (where "X" depends on the server, how well designed it is, what other functions are being used, etc.). A well designed server can handle close to 1,000,000 E-mails/day complete with spam/virus scanning.
In theory, maybe.
But in practice, I bet there are 100's of $$powerful Imail servers struggling to handle much less that 1M/day, and with the multi-month best $$efforts of the Imail admins and Ipswitch to make it happen.
Very, very few IMail admins have troubles handling 100,000 E-mails/day. Most IMail admins would have a hard time getting 1M/day. That was my point. :)
I would guess that 90+% of IMail users receive less than 100,000 E-mails/day, so the point is moot for them. It's the 10% (up from ~2% a couple years ago) that may or may not have troubles, depending on the amount of knowledge and/or hardware they can throw at the problem.
