Hello everyone,
The company I am in is thinking about moving their
opt-in email newsletters from a third-party service
bureau to in-house.
I was wondering what would be the minimum hardware
configuration and qmail setup needed to be able to
send 6 million emails within 24 hours as this is a
daily newsletter?
On tests done on a dual p3-800 with 1 gigabyte of ram
running qmail configured according to Life With Qmail,
I am able to send about 1080 emails per minute, or
maximum 1.5 million emails per day.
The concurrencyremote is set as 118 right now. I have
heard that their is a patch to increase the
concurrencyremote. However, the server was able to
perform at 1080 emails per minute when the
concurrencyremote was set at 100, increasing to 118
had apparently no effect on the number of emails sent
per minute.
Can anyone kindly provide me with insight on how to
best configure qmail to handle 6 million emails per
day? Is this possible on a single server setup and if
so how?
Thanks!
PHP Webmaster
