RE: memory usage....help....

2001-04-26 Thread J.W. Jones



Most 
of the amount of used memory is all disk buffed to memory: 208584K buff. This is a normal thing and this 
used disk cache in memory will be freed up if an application needs 
it.

You could also, if you are planning to drop the old server offline
immediately upon getting the new server running properly, set this up using
MX records. Set the new server's IP as a lower priority MX in the DNS files
and wait for it to propagate and then drop the old server offline. The SMTP
hosts on the other end *should* then automatically switch to the lower
priority MX record when they see that the normal MX host is unreachable and
start sending to it. You can then at your leisure set your DNS files to the
proper MX and let them propagate as normal with no interruption in service.

Good luck!
