Hi SmarterTools Community,
We are currently reviewing our server administration and mail queue workflows, specifically focusing on optimizing outbound SMTP delivery and handling high volumes of transactional and bulk email traffic.
When managing busy mail servers during peak hours, balancing delivery speed, monitoring deferred queues, and fine-tuning spam filtering rules without increasing false positives can sometimes present administrative challenges.
- For system administrators managing high-load mail server environments, what are the best practices for configuring outgoing delivery threads and managing queue retries efficiently?
- Are there recommended diagnostic logs or performance counters you rely on to quickly isolate bottlenecks when specific relay domains experience temporary connection timeouts?
Would appreciate any technical tips or administration best practices from fellow sysadmins!
