Howdy, I'm setting up a mailserver with SusE 7.1 today, and need some advise. We are just now moving from RedHat to SuSE. We don't want to use sendmail because it's such a nightmare to configure, and is a security nightmare too. I just tried to install Qmail, but it's not gonna be easy so I stopped. I personally like Postfix best, and that's what I'd like to use, but we've been working with it on RedHat 6.2 for about 4 months now and have a terrible time with it. I'm hoping that SusE' Postfix package will treat us better, but here's the deal On RedHat, we could only get mail out at about the rate of 1000-2000 per hour. If we ran sendmail on the same box, we were getting about 40,000 an hour on the same size messages (BTW this is a subscription list not a spam server :-) ). We did finally do enough things to make Postfix run at about 35,000 per hour, but then we discovered an unusual thing: With sendmail, as soon as we start sending out messages we start getting replies and hits on our web site, however, when we use Postfix we don't get anywhere near the response from people which has to mean that postifx isn't really sending the mail, though it claims it is. This of course does not make our clients happy, they want responses from the bulk mailings so they can make some money :-). I'd really like to get it right the very first time now with Postfix on SusE. If anyone has successfully set up a postfix server on SusE 7.1, would you please let me know what modifications you had to make to the default settings in order to get a good, reliable sending rate out of postfix? There server has great hardware, iun fact it's faster then our redhat servers, so performance shoudl be better, if anything, then the redhat sendmail boxes TIA ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com Central Texas IT http://www.centraltexasit.com
