MB/s throughput isn't usually a factor, but IOPS definitely can be.

Hi Ram,
I do have some more spare memory, but I'm afraid it doesn't resolve my
problem.
Let's say, my active queue is filled with 20,000 mails, but mails are
not going out but remains in memory. In this case if I increase active
queue size, I just put more mails in memory, they still don't go o

Yes, that was precisely what I had overlooked.
To summarize:
DSN as of RFC 3461 is only recommended as internal status indicator
for message relayed out of the own scope. End-to-end status is neither
supported nor technical possible at the moment.
So with this DSN is useless for us, as we don't have a complex or
unreliable internal n

It's a newsletter group. because it's congesting so I stopped posting
new mails. I think that's why all mails are from 1280+ min ago.
I use
find active/ | wc -l
which gives me 20,002, while
find incoming/ | wc -l
gives 130,000+
and the incoming queue is slowly decreasing.

Although the subscription page is always open to our clients, we don't
send newsletters until recently. That's why I suddenly get so many
subscribers, valid and invalid, all at a time, and get so many troubles
then. Otherwise I won't work until 3:00AM.
Anyway, we're too far away from the topic.

If binding a Postfix instance to a physical CPU is really what you
want/need,
With multiple postfix instance, you can easily separate set of
configurations but keep some processes eg filters commonly.
This Postfix technology is very helpful for ISP/ASP mode.
So if you define that each instance using different domains and
