If you have 512M of Ram set it to 200, it will give you a lot of room. > There's an active message queue which also became a sticky wicket > for us.

The comments in the config file say: Unless newer versions have been fixed, there is a max of 10K or 50K, depending on source version. I had to edit teh source and recompile to get it up to the 75K+ range. > disable_dns_lookups = yes I have found this to be no real change. On a PIII-500 with 512M I am getting 100K-120K/hr on a T1 connection with avg message of 6.1K. A good thing to do is to have hash_queue_names = incoming, defer, deferred active bounce flush hash_queue_depth = 2 the hashed structure gave us an increase of 20% in soeed. If most of your email is going to a few domains that you know are good at handling email you can also set default_destination_concurrency_limit = 15 -- |Tass Chapman| [EMAIL PROTECTED] : PGP key @ pgpkeys.mit.edu:11371 | | http://www.kenderhome.com : KEYID: 0x5BC152A1 | |ICQ UIN:394570 | -- ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
