Thanks you guys!!! I have read all your comments about using exchange 2k as my relay, and I can see the pros, and cons of such a job.
My mailman box, uses Postfix, and apparently, as mention in this thread postfix can open multiple connections to the same domain, which would be brilliant, as long as I can check to configure it. Exchange, does the same thing. I have a 1/2 meg connection to the internet, so I guess that's not too bad. I've also been directed at a link that I may like to try, to add local cacheing on my mailman box. What I will do, is test all configurations, and see which one kicks ass, I mean works the best! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of alex wetmore Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 4:10 PM To: Jonathan Knight Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] MS Exchange as a relay computer?

I was going by some information that I learned on this list about two years ago stating that setting MAX_SMTP_RCPTS to between 5 and 10 will increase parallelism with the MTA Will exim and postfix both open multiple connections to a remote domain when there are many recipients for that domain on a single message? The Mailman FAQ still recommends setting MAX_SMTP_RCPTS to 10 for performance reasons, but doesn't explain why alex ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/badmangabriel%40lyc os.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: archive@jab.org Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
