I'm really happy to work with him.
He understands server technicalities very well.

Everything worked really well and so smoothly.
So, I would definitely recommend him to all of you.

Happy to help you!

>>Once your IP and domain name has good reputation, you can send 250-1500 email per hour from per IPs. So if you have 16IPs then you can send 16*250*24(16 ips*250 email per hour* 24hours)= 96000 email per day.
You can change the limit from each IP address. Change the max-msg-rate.
#BEGIN VIRTUAL MTAS
<domain *>
max-cold-virtual-mta-msg 1000/day
max-msg-rate 250/h
</domain>
</virtual-mta>
#END VIRTUAL MTAS

Your calculations are wrong and from that its obvious you dont understand how PowerMTA throttling works.

Of course this is not the only configuration for outgoing email throttling. There are other settings for domain (gmail, yahoo, outlook)level. There are max-smtp-out, max-rcpt-per-message settings for individual domain name.

Lets compare the below 2 setting and answer some questions:

settings - 1
<domain hotmail.com>
max-msg-rate 100/h
max-rcpt-per-message 100
max-smtp-out 20
</domain>

settings -2
<virtual-mta vmta1>
max-smtp-msg-rate 50/h
max-smtp-out 10
</virtual-mta>

1. So, if I include both the settings on my config, which one overrides the other and could you please tell me what would happen if a mail to hotmail domain comes to the system ? which settings have preference - domain level or vmta level ?

>> The virtualMTA rate limit will be the ultimate cap. If maiil for hotmail domain comes into the system, it stays in the queue until delivered or bounced. Caps set at the virtualMTA level will be the ultimate cap.

2. Also, is it possible to implement domain based delays within VMTA ?

>> Yes, you can have domain definitions within virtualMTAs.

3. If I implement the delay in the above way, will it affect the speed of incoming messages to PMTA ? I think no, but, please confirm.

>> The speed of incoming messages will not be delayed, unless/until your queue grows so large due to your various rate limiting settings that the machine gets resource constrained.

If you don't agree, please share your opinion. I could be wrong and your appropriate answer can help anyone in this forum.

As a PMTA "guru" you should know that <domain *> means ALL domains, so the calculation "16*250*24(16 ips*250 email per hour* 24hours)= 96000" is totally wrong.

Code:

<domain *>
max-msg-rate 250/h
</domain>

This means each IP will send 250 messages to each domain per hour.
So if you have a list of 1000 subscribers: 250 AOL, 250 Yahoo, 250 Gmail, 250 Hotmail - with the above setting everyone in your list will theoretically receive the message within an hour from a single IP.

Based on my calculation and if your list have subscribers only from the above 4 domains for 24 hours with 16 IPs, theoretically you'll be able to send 384 000 messages. If your lists have subscribers from more than these 4 domains the actuall number will be a lot higher - theoretically, but I guess, you as a guru already know that.

It's funny how someone who doesnt understand one of the key features of PowerMTA calls him self pmta guru.

BTW, I would love to see a sample config file you have. You can PM me or post it here.

Appreciate your constructive comments ston3d. Its been lonely here. Though part of your comments are offensive.

Nevermind, your constructive comments will help others to understand how PMTA works.

Actually you are correct, i shouldn't count the mail going out that way. Initially i didn't want to give a complicated answer for this question. Since you are talking about it then lets talk about it.

PMTA configuration can be done in 100 ways. There is no fixed configuration for it. You do configuration however it fits your need. I often get asked questions from my client that why my interspire is sending out email slow. Shouldn't PMTA send out email faster and so on. That's where this configuration comes in.

Code:

<domain *>
max-msg-rate 250/h
</domain>

This domain settings here doesn't mean PMTA will send out email straightway from the server. what is does instead PMTA will put all this email in the queue.

Seems like you know PMTA then you also should know that there is another default domain settings that define how much email PMTA will send per hour, whats the max email per connection, whats the max smtp out connection and so on.

here is a sample config file you can take a look,

# default domain settings
<domain *>
max-smtp-out 10
max-msg-per-connection 100
max-errors-per-connection 10
max-msg-rate 1000/h
bounce-upon-no-mx yes
assume-delivery-upon-data-termination-timeout yes
retry-after 10m
bounce-after 24h
smtp-pattern-list blocking-errors
backoff-max-msg-rate 1/m
backoff-retry-after 20m
backoff-notify ""
backoff-to-normal-after-delivery yes
backoff-to-normal-after 1h
dk-sign yes
dkim-sign yes
dkim-identity postmaster@10youth10.org
</domain>

Let me know your thought.
