IMPROVING YOUR SYSTEM LOAD IMMEDIATELY

Dear,
It would appear that the www4mail servers respond better when the 
following line is added to the conf/www4mail.cfg file.

SendMailCmd= /usr/sbin/sendmail -O DeliveryMode=b -f $1 $2

The above line instructs sendmail to deliver the mail in the background
and not to defer it (notice b instead of d). This should have the effect
that the out-going mails from www4mail leave the server faster.


Thanks

Did anyone see my last mail on the software response to the LOAD
MONITORING SYSTEM?

ADDENDUM to that message:

Error 501 - Server Unavailable or BUSY should not decrease the quota ...

After much observations I noticed that the system load usually rises when
users are trying to split and mail multiple parts of a mail message. I am
thinking of introducing a 10 seconds delay into the main loop for mailing
split parts. This will slow down the processing of split mails.

Another idea is to have a system whereby split messages are queued for
sending.... This way the server will only have to deal with one set of
split files at a time. More delays for the split messages....
