At what point do you think my server would start to become overwhelmed? I have a P 1.7 with 512 M of ram. It's a managed dedicated server and I can upgrade as the traffic increases.
If a 1000 members chose this service than there were around 150 posts per day that would be 150,000. Thats an average of 160 per minute. I've seen some seriously mega boards out there with new posts happening every 24 seconds on average. Who knows how many notifications go out with each one of those. One thing is for sure, at my current level of activity, my server would not break a sweat.
I really need this type of Hack. Would it be possible to spread the emails out over a period of time?
Thanks in advance.
