Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi. Got a slight problem. I'd like to do an SMTP system that allows up to 100 users a second to authenticate to the system using the simplest means possible. I'd like to use the Pop before SMTP method over authentication before SMTP. However from my understanding, it doesn't scale very well. So I'm trying to find a way to make this be able to handle as much traffic as possible without overloading the existing system. Thanks.
