A few months ago I did some testing and found that freebsd 5.4 with softupdates enabled was able to process IIRC ~300% more email than fedora core 4. In fact sendmail on fbsd 5.4 handled nearly as much email as postfix on fc4 while postfix on fbsd 5.4 was smokin' the wire. I still have the hard data around somewhere if you think it'll be useful to you. -- Randy (schultz@sgi.com) 715-726-2832 email bodhisattva <*> "There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed." _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" --------------------------------- How much free photo storage do you get?
