James' capacity statistics - Where can I find it?
Hi all,
Does any body has statistics of James. I need to develop a capacity
plan and really I don't have James installed.
My request will be: 2000 emails/day; 1Mb (binary prior base64 encoded)
attachment average per each email; 1000 email accounts; storage 100%
Oracle DB; SSL/authentication required ( will be an extra-net where
clients will have account to interchange files, not to send/receive
general purpose emails).
I need to know:
How many simultaneous connections James support: POP3 & SMTP
Throughput capacity
Memory requirement
I believe that James will be in a Sun box.
Thanks in advance
Manuel Soto

This page from your wiki might be a good start:
http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?JamesForYourBoss
Throughput and connections aren't likely going to be an issue. Using
the database with that size messages might cause a problem, but
otherwise what you're talking about is well, well within the operating
parameters of James.

You might want to check the archives. I have posted test stats multiple
times in the past. Your numbers are so low that James won't even notice the
traffic. If your 2000 messages arrive, for the sake of argument, within an
8 hour day, you are talking about 4 messages per minute.
James defaults to more connections than you'll need. You can start with the
default configuration, and then add connections if/when you find that you
are exhausting the default set. If anything, perhaps you'll want to raise
the POP3 connections, but right now you 30 connections available at any
given moment, and mail clients don't stay connected for long.
