I tried to tune my qmail/listserv performance recently, and then I sent out a large mailing to our announce-list. The whole thing is crawling, and qmail is not spawning the tons of qmail-remotes I feel it should. One of the things I did was turn MAXBSMTP way up. I now have the sinking feeling that the proper thing to be doing with listserv and qmail is to crank MAXBSMTP way *down*, since qmail is going to blast it out individually anyway, and let the concurrentremote qmail parm handle the scaling. Does anyone have any advice in this matter? I haven't gotten to the level of source code tracing with qmail (because I've been having other server crises), but I figured before I wasted too much effort on a solved problem I should just ask the peers. Advice? Thanks in advance. -- Scott Swanson Sysadmin, CTW Online [log in to unmask]
