Email troubleshooting story (funny)
See HEC Montréal: Deployment of a Large-Scale Mail Installation for a Linux Journal 2004 article on a large organization email service design and implementation, using Postfix. “During a typical day, HEC Montréal receives over 125,000 e-mails ... About 300,000 POP3 connections (from 5,500 different users) and 60,000 IMAP connections (from 5,000 different users) are initiated every day ... Peaks of 225 concurrent IMAP connections and 50 concurrent POP3 connections frequently are encountered.”
