Hi,

It's not a qmail question, but because many of you are in the
high-volume mail business, I hope to get a few answers :-)

A colleague of mine works for a place where they're going to
change from an X400 system to MS Exchange. I don't have details
on the hardware, but they're planning on using 1 server per
1000 accounts. I seem to remember to have read (maybe on this
list) that Exchange doesn't like that amount of users, and that
300-400 is about the right number of accounts per server.

MS litterature speaks about 2000-15000 accounts per server, but
that seems rather optimistic for PC class hardware, even when
the network seems OK (in this case, switched 10Mb/s).

Any comments, cites on the ideal number of accounts per Exchange
server?

Thanks a lot,

Stefaan
