Moloko, You still have not answered the question of just how busy your S/390 CPU is when the load average is at 10. (Not 10% as you state.) A load average does not tell you anything about how busy the CPU is, only how many processes are "ready to run." Try bumping your QueueLA and RefuseLA on Linux/390 to something very large, say 99, and see what happens. But really, look at and report %CPU busy, not load average. That really doesn't tell us anything.
Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Moloko Monyepao [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 9:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Sendmail Perfomance I have sendmail 8.11.6-3 installed on Redhat 7.2 (server installation) on S390(Lpar) with an IFL dedicated to this Lpar. We made the O QueueLA=10 and the O RefuseLA=12 which is the same setup as on my Intel machine. When using top to check the load the following is what I get. The O MaxDaemonChildren=100 on S390 and 300 on Intel. Intel Machine = The Load average does not go over 10% when setup for both incoming and outgoing mail. S390 Machine = The Load average goes to more than 10% and it start rejecting connections if we set it up for both incoming and outgoing mail and it gets up to about 6 to 8% if we only set it up for outgoing mail which is not a lot. Please assist Moloko
