If the remote offices have fixed ip addresses, give them each a rule in tcp.smtp, so that they don't have to AUTH, no rbl check and don't go through simscan. That might help reduce load. 200 users is not that many. something like 10.10.10.10:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD="" > I was thinking of setting up another mail server at > the remote branches through which the users at the > site will use for smtp access.Also maybe use some > program like fetch mail for certain users and thus act > as POP3 for them. > Please advice the best possible steps for cases such > as this.
