You need to specify your requirements much more precisely for us to help you.
For instance:
1) 10M messages -- what size messages?
2) Is this ten million copies of a single identical message (i.e., the same
message text to each of ten million recipients)? Or is this ten million
personalized messages, each to a single recipient?
3) What sort of latency is acceptable to you? Do you require that all
recipients (well, those whose mailservers don't defer the delivery) recieve it
within 2 hours? Or 20 minutes? Or is 24 hours acceptable?
4) Are the recipients local? Virtual? Remote-to-close-networks?
Remote-to-the-net-at-large? The 10M number implies an answer to this
question, but we don't want to assume incorrectly.
The list archive is full of discussions on large/huge mailing lists and
hardware required to host them. Try searching the archive. You can find
pointers to it at qmail.org.
