The system is a Linux box, PII 450, 128meg o ram. It's doing nothing but
this mail list, but the mail list is using Java, which makes the system
crap as far as I'm concerned, but hey, that's out of my control, so I have
to deal with it.
I just got word that their program does not shell out to spawn mail
processes, but rather communicates directly with smtp, so unless they have
some control over this, it doesn't look like I'll be able to call anything
directly.
Heh, the load average on this thing is averaging around 20 which is just
bad.
I just sent out 300 messages using qmail-remote in about 4 seconds.
*sigh*, qmail remote is fast, but you have to pass it information like you
state below, such as the prefer MX host, which over course a simple perl
wrapper could find, but well...
I still remember qmail being very fast on other servers. Why isn't my
concurrentremote filling up? I see in logs an average of 1-3/75 and
that's it.
