: Do you ever hit 120 qmail-remotes? If so, upping the concurrencyremote
: will help. You'll have to change conf-spawn and rebuild.
To be honest, one machine doesn't, one might. The instantaneous checks I can
do show a high number of qmail-remotes running but I've never seen 120. I
figured I would try it and see if the number increased or not.
:>I'll send along vmstat entries if anyone thinks it would help.
: Couldn't hurt.
I'll have to get some the next time we run a large email and post some. I
don't really know what to make of vmstat results.
: You have to locate the bottleneck before you can remove it (and reveal
: the next bottleneck). Why are you only getting 60k msgs/hr? Is it
: queue disk I/O? Network bandwidth? Memory (doubtful)? CPU (also
: doubtful)?
We've got a limited T3 and the bandwidth monitors don't show it being a problem.
I'm guessing disk I/O is the problem but I'm not positive. I'm going to try
spreading my queue across disks and possibly things like reiserfs to see what
improvements I might get. Top always shows memory all used, but then it's
always like that. There's never a large amount of swap being used. I'm not
really sure how to check CPU but I would guess it's not the real problem.
