Hello,

every 1st of each month we are sending thousands of emails to our clients for their monthly statements and it seems emails are being delayed due to the amount of emails sending from our mail server.

my question is it possible to have a second identical mail server working in cluster and handling the emails going out splitted between the two servers?

can i achieve that using HaProxy? what do you suggest?


Thanks in advance,

Chrysanthos

iRedMail doesn't limit the amount of emails you can send. If you have unexpected issue, please try to gather related log in Postfix log file (/var/log/maillog), and paste here, so that others can help.

Did you get any error or bounce message when it reaches limit? either in your mail client or mail log (/var/log/maillog).

Assuming:
Zhang, its not being limited; its just slower than he'd like. He'd want Postfix to split the queue among two servers it seems so that it is *theoretically* twice as fast to ship out the thousands of e-mails quicker.

The administrator limits it

Re: Limitation on the amount of emails sent?

Disable 'content_filter=' line in /etc/postfix/main.cf will speed up a lot. but you'd better read this tutorial BEFORE you do so:
