Let's Buy Me Coffee.https://saweria.co/habibzain https://ko-fi.com/habibzain
Hello, thanks for your contribution. I have an open source zimbra 8.8.15 on ubuntu 20.04, they are a single server and storage, that is, two servers, both robust. My issue is that I already exceeded 9,000 emails and my team crashes all the time.
How many accounts does zimbra open source support and for that number of accounts do I need a new infrastructure? Thank you
Thank you for responding to my article, I am very happy with your comment.
As far as I know, Zimbra actually has no limit on the number of users.
To determine Zimbra infrastructure, the basic consideration is the amount of hourly traffic or daily email traffic. not how many users there are.
For example, if you have 9000 users and there are only 10000 incoming and outgoing email transactions, then a single server is enough.
but if email transactions reach hundreds of thousands, then a multi server setup is the right choice.
separate LDAP, MTA, and Mailbox services.
