Hi We will have all *legit* mails only. Currently we are sending around 1.5 - 2 million emails per day and 5 million would be an expansion. We handle these for our clients. So with current congestion going on, we are expanding. Bounces are being handled by a program already. I have to now configure these servers which can give better performance and no delays whatsoever. In the 4GB RAM it puts much of load currently, and hence going ahead with 16GB RAM and 1TB hard disks with 10k rpm servers. The servers are connected to a 100Mbit pipe, hence no bandwidth issue. With my postconf atleast can you tell me how to avoid delays so that i can fix the current problem that i have.
