*clap clap*

You sure, know how to run a mail server John :)

Like, well. I personally use qmail for the mail servers I'm forced to
run. But we use them for testing, and sometimes handle 25K emails at
once from/to 10-20K mail users we create for that test.

I know *gasp* qmail. It works very, very well for the amount of mail
we're dealing with.

I'm going to guess that you remove return path headers and have proper
spf records. If so, then yeah, you're doing it right.

We haven't actually tested postfix to see if the configuration /
performance is better or worse for our setup. Does anyone here have a
postfix server handling queues greater then ~23,000 separate messages?
