Hi
I would like to know how to tune postfix for bulk email sending. I have to send about 700.000 email to subscribers in as short as possible time. My outgoing connection is 2,5Mb/s ( 300 kB/s), server have 256mb ram, and email size is 150kb. I wrote script, which injects about 1500 mails in 750 seconds intervals to queue. I calculated this as 1500 mail * 150 kb / 300 kb/s = 750 s. This is much more than enough, because this calculation doesnt take paralell delivery into account. Now I wonder about leaving this script and rely on postfix queue management only. I plan to sort my recipient list by their domains, then make 70 copies of email - each with 10000 Bcc recipients (I assume it iis default_recipient_limit), then inject all this mails to queue. Please send your comments and sugestions about this idea. How should I set postfix parameters to send this mails as fast as possible? Tomek |
