The total traffic we do is on the order of 50 remote deliveries per day, with peak traffic rates of 30-40 remote deliveries per second. Till recently it was running on an older P166 with IDE disks, now it has a PII 400. It runs Debian GNU/Linux and qmail with smartlist (bleck). My Devil's Advocate is whispering in my ear. I'd be very worried if it wasn't a debian-based machine! I wonder if there are any major linux vendors who don't use their own distros for internal use I once visited the machine room of a large local power company who was thoroughly in bed with Compaq. They had 20-odd proliant servers, and their NT-based office network PDC was a HP E70 (?) -- Criggie

Its not exactly a Debian/Linux question, but does anyone know how many email addresses are on the world's largest mailing list, and the OS/HW it runs on? Average messages per day?
