RE: [cobalt-developers] Replacing sendmail

["Daren Cotter" <darenc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Where can you view the load time? I run a site that sends thousands of
emails per day...the box basically never stops sending email. I've had
sendmail just quit quite a few times, leaving me not knowing how far along
in its task it got. What would be a safe number to up this 15 from?
