"packs it in"? Do you mean like you say that sendmail actually crashes when load goes above 5? I would guess sendmail is rather throttling itself and that you are seeing log messages about sendmail refusing connections. Is this a correct assumption? Sendmail can be configured to operate with higher loads. If sendmail actually dies, there's something really unusual going on.
By "packs it in" I mean that its configured currently to cease working at load of 5 and above. It doesnt crash as such, but is set to shut down in the config of sendmail if load gets too high.
To me it sounds like you are having problems with your database design and that you could benefit from some indexes perhaps. Do you have any indexes? If you list your table structure and queries that are bogging things down, the mysql list will be more than happy to help you. :)
Its highly possible as this is the first database ive had to use with a large number of records. I shall look into indexing part of databasing now. Any suggested places to start that explains it helpfully ?
