Two things:

1. As Steve pointed out they have yet to find/hit the limit. They had
well over 2000 concurrent connections. And the claim is 1018 concurrent
connections per CPU.

2. The question is why are your concurrent connections so high? One
reason would be an enormously busy mail server. The other would be
having to long SMTP sessions. The truth will be in between. BMX might
even help you shorten the average SMTP session time since it will very
quickly discover badly behaving servers and drop the connections without
having to go through the SpamAssassin hussle.


Why don't you simply try it out? You could do that very easily and get
rid of it should you really be the first one to hit a limit in BMX.
