I am curious if postfix would be able to send out 300000 emails in one hour, to different recipients of course. Taking into account http://www.postfix.org/TUNING_README.html and other such performance tuning guides. This would only happen once a week or so. The important part is the need to send them all in one hour, more or less.

This would be on a debian server with about 64 to 92 GB of memory, 8 or 16 CPUs and a really fast internet connection.

Considering 300000 per hour equates to about 83 emails per second and given a reasonably fast server (over specced since I doubt CPU and RAM would be the bottleneck here) I would think one server could handle this.

Suffice it to say these emails are sent to a list of COI emails. I hate spam.

Thank you,
Jeroen
