We send lots of newsletters and other subscription-type emails. Our qmail
server seems to max out at 10,000 outbound messages per hour. I already have
concurrencyremote set to 120, and reverse DNS lookups and other slowdowns
turned off. The CPU (a dual UltraSparc) is not maxing out; it looks like we've
reached a limit of the SMTP protocol and the number of connections allowed.

I can see that separating outbound and incoming mail on different servers would
help; most of the bounces come in while the bulk of the subscriptions are going
out. We are going to add some servers, but I'm wondering if 10,000/hour is a
typical limit, or is there some way I can send more messages in an hour?

Thanks!
