- Server hardware spec?
- How did you send email? e.g. perform smtp auth for each sent email? or using a mailing list manager like 'mlmmj' (integrated in iRedMail).

Re: Help with increasing Postfix speed?

Few small changes will speed up a little bit:

- Perform one smtp auth to send multiple emails (if possible).
- Use mailing list to send same email to multiple recipients (if possible).
- Disable spam/virus scanning for outgoing emails will speed up a lot.
