Very quickly, run a "mailstats" command. Assuming you have statistics-keeping configured into your sendmail, and the statiscs file actually exists, you should be able to see output that (among other things) will show you exactly what kind of traffic you process. If you truncate the statistics file nightly (truncate, not delete), then you can get daily totals every day.

I don't know how many emails it processes per day as I haven't installed a stats package yet, but it's a dual Xeon with 4GB RAM, and it's pretty much consumed. It handles mail for some 10,000 mailboxes. --Aaron Kevin A. McGrail wrote: > 77 slaves?
