It also doesn't state the requirement that these operations must be
serialized. Yes, the implication is there, but it's hardly what I'd call
clear.
Beter yet:
"qmail-queue reads a message from descriptor 0. After EOF is received
on descriptor 0, it reads envelope information from descriptor 1."
By the way, does anyone have any interest in comparing notes on really high
volume qmail configs? I'm looking for performance in the range of 200-250k
remote deliveries per hour. We're halfway there with relatively few
modifications on a modest dual-processor Sun. Before we really start digging
into the code (or throwing more hardware at it), I'd like to hear from others
who are dealing with similar volumes.
Thanks,
