It = has click stats, a decent web interface, relatively easy to get up and = running, and the performance is pretty good. It is a little top-heavy, though, since it requires apache/php/mysql. However, after enabling mysql query caching and adding eaccelerator into the mix, it runs fairly well. My last send clocked in at 47k messages = per hour on a 2.8GHz dual-core Pentium-D, using postfix as the local MTA. I like the fact that it will automatically prune the list membership = after a user-configurable number of bounces. Filter the bounce catcher = account, though, as spam will make your DB grow to insane sizes and bog it down. It's not the best package in the world, but it's the only comperable open source package that I know of. I hope to hear of alternatives in this thread. _--------------------------------------------------------------------- Well the server I plan to run it a VPS server, so I REALLY DON'T know = what the specs are on the box- and since it's not dedicated I have no clue = what else or what other sites are on it- I do know it has exim installed = which I am very familiar with and actually use- I know it has MySql on it as = well it a red hat 9 os if im not mistaken and I've never used apache or php, = what's the learning curve like to get that running?
