Dear all, I changed my SMTP_MAX_RCPTS to 500 as suggested. Now I'm averaging 20 minutes and as fast as 10.
I suspect my firewall is a problem. It is issuing warnings about being overwhelmed. In that I've been away from Unix for almost 7 years now and I'm new to Linux, I really don't know what tools I could use to find my bottleneck. Any suggestions?

Dear all, We moved our mailman list over from yahoo to my server this week. No a painless move but it went OK. (This is some pretty good software!) My big issue is performance. Our list has 2300 subscribers and we do about 20 to 50 e-mails a day, nothing too big. Messages were taking 3 to 4 hours to be sent. I went through the FAQ on performance and have done the following to get down to 30 to 90 minutes: 1: Put in a DNS server on my machine with caching (pdnsd) 2: Used the following mailman settings: DELIVERY_MODULE = 'SMTPDirect' SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 3 SMTP_MAX_SESSIONS_PER_CONNECTION = 100 3: Turned off the logging Some other facts: a: I'm running RedHat 9 Linux b: We are getting lots of bounces: 258 have been put on hold because they went over their bounce score c: I'm using a 2+GHz AMD machine. Lots of horse power and it seems like I'm not using much. CPU is sitting at between 5% and 10% So, my obvious questions are: I: Any suggestions on my mm_cfg.py settings? II: Anything else you can recommend? III: My assumption is that since I'm using SMTPDirect it doesn't matter if I use the default stuff that comes with Redhat or should I load something better? IV: Is it the bounces that are my problem? Thank you in advance for any advice!
