Finetuning Postfix to send faster

KimEng · 05-22-2013, 10:45 PM

Hi guys, I know the basic stuff on Linux and was tasked to set up an SMTP server to send out our office's email campaigns to our subscribers all over the world.

I installed the latest stable CentOS which comes with Postfix, and set it up to be able to relay emails from our email campaign software.

But at the moment it seems like it's sending 5 emails per second, and took 8 hours to send 50k emails.

Is there any fine tuning I can make to the config to speed it up?

Thanks

P.S no my office is not the one responsible for Jessica or Helen asking you for feedback on their photo.exe attachment

We are actually a learning institute.

Ah..WHICH learning institute? And 50,000 emails is quite a load, especially since you're one learning institute.
