Max accounts per server?

    There is no hard and fast rule on accounts per server. We have clients with 1200 accounts on a server and it runs fine and we have clients with 100 accounts on a server where it struggles. It all comes down to what the server load runs in steady state, how good your security/monitoring is etc. Mail queues do not process over night, they process all day every day. You normally should not have more than 100 emails in the queue, if you have a lot more than that tyou may have a spam problem. As for crons running over night, you have to track that down in the logs, look at the crons, try to run them manually, etc to see where the problem might lie.

    It reallly depends on what your clients sites are doing, how much traffic their getting - and as @GOT noted how you're monitoring and the security of the server.
    we have had a few incidents where account cron jobs were not running or where the email queue did not process during the night

    Tracking down what exactly was occurring here would useful - an overloaded mail server and stuck cron jobs are symptoms of an issue but not the cause.
