Oh, no, 300 is peanuts for Exim. Given that it's not doing intensive
spamscanning, virusscanning etc on the same server and the server is
nice and fast...
Our platform began to show issues with queues wel over 10k. That's why
we also have mailspoolers running postfix that kick in when the mx'es
can't take the load anymore.
Also we redirect bounces to another box running postfix to deliver them.
Exactly as Brian Blood stated.
Exim for the intelligent stuff, Postfix for the brute force deliveries :)
