Moodle in English -> Installing and upgrading help -> Email Server for moodle -> Re: Email Server for moodle

One can hardly speak of an "integration". There is a clear border between the two: Moodle prepares the mails, like any other MUA, and deliver them to what we loosly call the "mail server" or the SMTP server, in jargon the MTA. They both need understand (some version) of SMTP. Other than that they are independent.

With 5000/24 or more you are a heavy user. Whichever the MTA you use, it is going to be expensive. Did you get a quotation from Sendgrid? The DIY style will be the cheapest in money, but you have to pay in work. Running something like Postscript needs 5 minutes. But configuring it to be trusted by everybody, including the BIG like Office365 and Gmail, is a never ending job.

And, people are so used to mails being instantly delivered, the different to instant messaging is often forgotten. Mail is store-and-forward - not real-time!

There is also a Site Administration > Plugins > Admin tools > Recycle bin: Item lifetime (tool_recyclebin | coursebinexpiry). Never tested.
 
Still, the more difficult question is, whether expansion is genuine or due to something malfunctioning. That needs some digging.

It is always better to have the plan, where you want to go, not what it does, where you've landed.

For example, do you really want the Moodle to be available on a private lan, domain 'local', or one day it should also serve requests from outside, https://example.com/?
 
Why is a port number in the game? Do you plan to offer many Moodle instances with their unique port numbers, like https://example.com:PORT1/? Or are the domains neutral and independent, you want to map them to a set of internal Moodle instances?

Are these "native" (LAMP virtual hosts) or are they some sort of containers? If so what is the image?
