I have been asked by the powers that be in our company to set up a broadcast email system so that we can send info to our business clients QUICKLY. About 500-1,000 recipients, and the email being on average 50K. I have set up an alias file and everything is great (we haven't sent anything yet, tho ;-) except that the boss wants this stuff to be in all the mailboxes 1-2 hours after the messages are first sent. I am not worried about bandwidth (we have 56K, soon T1), but I am concerned w/ Sendmail. Under FreeBSD 1.1.5.1, on a 90MHz pentium, I have no idea: --how much memory I will need --how I can optimize sendmail to send stuff the quickest possible way. I would welcome any suggestions! I have to present my projections tomorrow or monday, and I am still a little foggy (several O'Reilly books later!) -Thanks, Bill --------------------- William Allison Ian Freed Consulting, Inc.
