Well, from memory (this was several years ago) we had 2 identical linux test machines, rather modest, hp desktop class hardware as I remember. One was running sendmail, the other postfix, default configs. We fed them both with a mail spool of a few thousand messages and the difference was significant. The postfix box finished processing and delivering the messages in a few minutes. At this point, the sendmail box was thrashing, with a load average around 40. It finally finished about half an hour later.
That one test settled the postfix-vs-sendmail debate for me.
I assume that you configured both systems with reasonable defaults?
Actually that would be the linux vendor - IOW it was straight, "out of the box" default configs. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
