I think you're going to run into problems. I would suggest you think about adding three more of those boxes, maybe more.Hello,A quick question. After doing some reading, I noticed alot ppl have SA running on Intel boxes. Is anyone running SA on Solaris boxes? Will be processing about 600k emails/day on one mail server and was wondering how it would fair. It is a Sun V880 with dual 700 sparc cpu and 4 gig of ram. Also is SA cpu intensive or memory intensive? Does anyone else process this amount of email? If so how does your server fair with the load?
Seriously, if you do that much mail, you'd surely test SA pretty heavily before rolling it into production, wouldn't you? I suggest allowing about 0.5 seconds per email, probably more. That means you're going to do about 100k mails per box, maximum (assuming a non-even spread).
Oh, that makes it about 6 of those boxes.
Alternatively, consider using our service: http://www.messagelabs.com/, and we'll spread the cost for you (those sure are expensive boxes!) :-)
