Against; I don't want Exim authors blamed for irresponsible behaviour. Another option available to you is to LD_PRELOAD a no-op for fsync(), eg <http://ftp.die.net/pub/qmail-tools/libnosync.c>. But please try the external journal trick first, and set a commit interval as large as you like--I use a minute or two. Your I/O will scale since then main volume is largely only reading and the journal volume will only write if you have enough RAM. -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
