(Note, I'm still on 1.8d, however I'll take a shot at it. ;) The 'slow handling of xxxxx.mail' files can be improved drastically with: 1) Make sure you have 'FEATURE(nocanonify)' in sendmail.mc if you can. 2) In your go.user: SMTP_FORWARD="localhost" SMTP_FORWARD_1="3*localhost" The "resource temporarily unavailable" sounds like Listserv 1.8e is making Sendmail tickle a resource constraint in the AIX kernel. I'd look at the various /usr/sbin/no options, in particular 'somaxconn' (which controls the maximum listen() backlog). Also, see if 'netstat -s' and/or 'netstat -m' show anything opdd...) /Valdis > > Joe DeBattista > UCSF, ITS > INTERNET: [log in to unmask] > > On Tue, 24 Sep 2002, Patrick Price wrote: > > > We get the same "Resource temporarily unavailable" also on AIX 4.3.3. > > I'd be interested if you get this resolved. > > > > $ ulimit -a > > time(seconds) unlimited > > file(blocks) 2097151 > > data(kbytes) 131072 > > stack(kbytes) 32768 > > memory(kbytes) 32768 > > coredump(blocks) 2097151 > > nofiles(descriptors) 8096 > > > > We have maxprocs set to 500.
