I am trying to pinpoint the high CPU utilization on my server when sending to a large announcement list (35,000 members).
When we send out an email, the 'python2' process eats up 80-90% of the CPU time. Some info: Red Hat EL 2.1 on dual AMD. We ARE running a local caching nameserver. Mailman 2.1.5 Sendmail-8.11.6-28.72 (Red Hat supplied RPM) SMTP_MAC_RCPTS = 10 (is this a good value??? I have no idea.) QRUNNER_LOCK_LIFETIME = hours(20) QRUNNER_PROCESS_LIFETIME = minutes(120) QRUNNER_MAX_MESSAGES = 50000 To be honest, I don't really know what the impact of all of those settings are. The list is 'general purpose', in that users are subscribed from many domains, with a large bulk being AOL, MSN, Yahoo, and Hotmail. I've read through the FAQ entries 4.11 and 4.12. The latter went over our heads a bit. We are not running with full customization. If there is something seriously amiss with our configuration, please give me a shout!
