+ | [12] WHAT ARE THE LIMITS ON SENDING EMAIL FROM SDF? | ||
+ | There are no limits on the number of messages you can send from SDF | ||
+ | as long as it falls within the guildelines of the AUP. That basically | ||
+ | boils down to: Send messages to your friends all you'd like, but | ||
+ | under no circumstances use the SDF mail server to send retaliatory or | ||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | This has changed (increased) over the years and probably will continue | ||
+ | to increase as pipes fatten and disk prices drop. | ||
+ | has been as low as 1MB during the early to mid 1990s. | ||
+ | over the past few years from 5mb, 8mb, 10mb, 16mb, 20mb and 30mb. | ||

+ | the MLIST membership. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Some server info: | ||
+ | |||
+ | MAX NUMBER OF SERVERS: | ||
+ | |||
+ | We currently allow up to 128 simultaneous server connections. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | this is less than 50. What this means is that, there would have to | ||
+ | be over 128 connections before the server begins denying connections. | ||
+ | Those incoming emails would not be lost, but deferred for when the | ||
+ | email flood dies down. For more information about how SMTP works, | ||
+ | see the previous entry for this FAQ. | ||
+ | |||
+ | QUEUE RUN: 60 minutes | ||
+ | |||
+ | When an outgoing email it deferred, it remains in the mailq queue for | ||
+ | up to 5 days before being returned to sender. | ||
+ | queue is retried every 60 minutes or roughly 120 times before it is | ||
