My needs are the needs of every mail(or other) server admin... who want's to
have efficient mail server.
RCPT TO checks, other helo checks, greylisting, smtp auth, mysql/ldap ... and
the list goes on.
I don't need any "special" features, I need the server which will be fast,
secure and feature full.. so I can without too much hassle configure SMTP to
use all features written above. - Efficient.
I mentioned MX proccessor... that's a server which proccess mail for around 30
domains.
14:42:19 up 133 days, 20:54, 2 users, load average: 0.09, 0.05, 0.01
That server have around 150 connections constantly... around 5-10
connections/sec.
The one domain hosted there was on qmail, the server load was around 6-7 .. all
the time. Million bounces and shit..queue was constantly full of spam, etc..
I know this can be resolved.. with those patches, but what's the point ?
Few of my friends who work/own some providers here, switched from qmail because
it became a nightmare to administer it. (They have around 100K of mail users /
ldap).
Kind Regards,
Sasa
