Ahhh... light blinks on. If you're going to put the queues
on multiple disks, then your assumption is very correct. How are you
going to handle distributing the load to the queues? Round robin in
the script that'll send the emails out? As for the multiple smtp
sessions, here's a run file for 'ya that has worked for me in the past:
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
IP=`cat /var/qmail/control/primary_incoming_smtp_ip`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrency_incoming`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
-u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID $IP smtp /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd \
/usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -rdialups.mail-abuse.org \
/usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -rrelays.mail-abuse.org \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1
It goes w/o saying that I recommend using the daemontools to
monitor your smtpd services. -sc
