Nowhere is it claimed on eCelerity's site that they can handle 100,000 connections on a single machine. They claim that they can SCALE to that figure.
What they do claim is that they are 10X the speed of conventional MTA's. This is believable, but it's still far less than what the IronPort can do. But they are both commercial, so no way to see which one is really faster or how much faster they are than open-source MTAs. On 1/18/07, Roberto Verzola <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I also realized email is really slower than http, and therefore our system will probably be able to process them as fast as they come in. What I really need then is a very fast MTA. > The fastest MTA on earth has got to be Foundry's IronPort appliance. > It can handle 10000 simultaneous connections.

I saw references to GPL in the hits, but on their website itself, cannot find any indication it is free or even downloadable. 1M messages per hr daw. I wonder if anyone here has tried either. And if they are commercial, how does postfix compare... Obet
