Each .pck is a separate email message (to one recipient)? Or each one is a separate post with many recipients? Is 80-100 items in queue/out a lot? I have another MLM that typically hands messages off to this MTA at 20-30/second, and I wrote it, so I know it isn't fast. :) Does Mailman send messages out serially? > The question is why is OutgoingRunner so slow as to create such a > backlog or perhaps what happened to dump all these messages into the > queue at once.
