I've been curious and have just tried out what happens if Big Sister 
tries to send alert messages for 500 machines.

That has really been funny - it does not take too many copies of
sendmail to use up 1.5GB of virtual memory and as soon as it is
used up the machine (Debian Sarge, Kernel 2.6.9, overcommit_memory
set to 0) totally locks. Oh :-)

I learn from this that it is not a good idea to try to send a few
hundred mail messages in a few seconds ...

Best regards,
Tom
