| Posted by: vasya Sep 3 2007, 08:12 PM |
| Hello, i want to make a big mail web, like example: mail.com , rambler.ru , mail.ru ... etc ultra popular web sites. Can Xmail be so fast ? - text from http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html - For example, each message on the qmail mailing list is delivered to more than 1000 hosts around the world in just 76 seconds.- - can xmail do that too ? or this XMail is only for small office network ? Or maybe you can recommend some other mail server ? maybe postfix or ultra un-updetable qmail (last update 1998 year) ? |

| No matter what you choose, these kind of sites require strong hardware and maybe an infrastructure with multiple mail servers plus load balancing for an optimal bandwidth management. Sending mails to a 1 K mailinglist in less than 76 seconds should be no problem if you have enough bandwidth and a fast CPU. E.g.: Mailing to 3 K recipients on a 512 MHz VIA EPIA Mini ITX with 512 MB RAM and 600 KBit Bandwidth on slow Win2k takes approx 6 Minutes. |

| Sure - try these command line parameters: -Mx 1024 -SX 1024 -Qn 256 If your system cannot handle this, try some lower Mx and SX values. |

| Maybe you can give/recommend some more config parameters for big mail network ? Can you please explain, why finger server is in XMail ? (only for know is user exist or no? or other reason?) Does pop3 has anti-bruteforce protection ? if yes how it works ? |

| See http://xmailserver.org/Readme.html#command_line for further settings you can tweak. In XMail 1.2x we have - 16 SMAIL threads open by default, - up to 1024 POP3 threads and - up to 1024 SMTP threads depending on traffic. A detailed list of standard and maximum default settings can be retrieved from MailSrv.cpp of the source tarball:
LMail describes the local mail delivery, while SMail is the mail which passes the SMTP sockets. The only one who knows about why it supports Finger is Davide. IMHO it is pretty useless in a regular environment. About brute force protection:
