  • At least six synchronous meta-data operations per message relayed

    • sendmail blocks for each

    • Journaling filesystem and/or softupdates filesystem
    • NVRAM for filesystem acceleration
    • Solid-state disk (SSD)
    • Memory-based filesystem (RAM disk) if you donít care about contents
