Hi all,

Ok, once again I'm looking for a VPS or dedicated host.  I see the offerings are in 2 flavors.

1.) cPanel with Exim
2.) Plesk with Qmail

The question, which of these is better/faster for handling large mailings 50,000 at a time, and why, give me all the technical details and include sample mail times using LMP if you have them...

I'd like to make a decision on this in the next few days, and I hope that one combination is a clear winner when working with larger mailings... I did notice the suggestions in this forum about both of these, it does seem that the qmail optimization requires boosting the max connections to 400, I wonder if that would actually cause banning from aol/hotmail/yahoo, etc, and if it would be safer using Exim and the optimizations listed here for that?
Thanks,
-Brett
