Quoting Gary Funck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
From cf/README:confQUEUE_LA QueueLA [varies] Load average at which queue-only function kicks in. Default values is (8 * numproc) where numproc is the number of processors online (if that can be determined). confREFUSE_LA RefuseLA [varies] Load average at which incoming SMTP connections are refused. Default values is (12 * numproc) where numproc is the number of processors online (if that can be determined).For dedicated mail servers, the value of RefuseLA should be **greater** than the value of QueueLA.
[snip]
Hence RefuseLA should be **lower** than QueueLA, the number of daemon children should probably be lower than the number of queue runnners (MaxChildren vs. MaxQueueChildren).
On a dedicated mail server, you want to set QueueLA *higher* than RefuseLA - the other way around will cause your queue to explode when the load is high
[snip]
The default of QueueLA lower than RefuseLA only makes sense for a server that does other things besides mail
[snip] So which is it?? RefuseLA > QueueLA ?? or QueueLA > RefuseLA ?? should it be greater/higher or lower ??
