Peter  is  very  smart  developer, but not a systems guy. You probably
noticed  our  back-and-forth  about  ORF's  64-bit support. During our
off-list  continuation,  I  was struck equally by his lack of facility
with  certain  common OS features (such as COM+) and yet the expertise
with  which  he  built  ORF  for scaleability and performance. I don't
expect him to do in-depth tweaking outside of his app (and I'm sure he
didn't touch these parameters here).

Tweak  the  settings and open up a lot of sessions to your server; you
will  see  that the number of worker threads (as opposed to I/O ports)
that can be created rises accordingly.

I'm sure you _are_ seeing aggravated problems with tarpitting enabled.
Yet  it's  clear  that you've observed problems with oversize messages
_whether  or  not_  tarpitting  is  enabled, and you treated that fact
insufficiently, it seemed to me.

From  what you wrote, it sounds like running the sink that I wrote for
the  non-tarpitting  server would solve both problems. As you may have
noticed,  it  generates  a  DSN  that  does  not  include the original
message, just the subject line, the message size, and the size limit.
