Hi,
My name is Mike and I am the UNIX admin at WB online. Anyway, I was tasked with rolling out a new mailing list server because our ListServe box is too slow and easy to hack. I set up qmail on a small 450mhz SUN netra and it seems to also be too slow. I need to be able to deliver about 1,000,000 emails a day and from the speed I get out of my netra I will need a dozen of them!
Does anyone have any idea of what hardware will work best for huge "newsletter" server? I was thinking of setting up a cluster of 5 to 10 netras to speed up delivery. However, it may be better to just get bigger servers. I have also run out of inodes in the var filesystem due to too many queued mails :-)
Thanks for any suggestions,
Mike Kuriger
