I'm seeing this in my logs: warning: trouble opening local/xx/x; will try again later warning: trouble opening remote/xx/x; will try again later (This probably isn't very useful but anyhow...) On Fridaymorning a system that handles diagnostic messages was being flooded by thousands of emails coming from another system that had been having a connectivity problem. The todo queue grew to over 10.000 entries and I was seeing loads of the above messages as well. Scary. Another thing I was seeing was that even after the todo queue had been emptied and with 6000 messages still to be delivered locally, local concurrency kept sticking around 1-2 out of 10. When sending an ALRM to qmail-send this number would temporarily go up to 10 but dwindle to 1 again shortly after. Unfortunately, it turned out that because of the amount of logging output all this activity produced, the interesting entries were pushed out of the logs :-( I have doubled the queue depth since, so maybe next time I'll have some hard evidence. The thing that scared me most was that it took qmail over 15 minutes to process the todo queue. As a result, several time-critical heartbeat messages from other systems were not delivered in time, triggering (admittedly false) alerts. So, I'm really hoping that the new zeroseek technology that qmail 2 supposedly will be using will address this todo issue. -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ "Reliability means never _/ _/ _/ having to say you're sorry." _/ _/_/_/ -- D.

Btw, the FreeBSD getcwd(3) manpage says:
These routines have traditionally been used by programs to save the name
of a working directory for the purpose of returning to it. A much faster
and less error-prone method of accomplishing this is to open the current
directory (`.') and use the fchdir(2) function to return.
AIX 4.x does have fchdir(2).

Hi Greg, On Tue, Mar 23, 1999 at 06:02:16PM -0500, xs wrote: hey all, since it seems that jos' email address is no longer valid, i'd figure i'd throw the question out here for an answer. [EMAIL PROTECTED] works (I changed jobs twice quite a while ago). hi there jos, i was taking a look at your toolarge program and i had a few questions: in: echo '|condredirect $USER-toolarge $HOME/toolarge test'.qmail-default echo '|$HOME/toolarge bounce"'.qmail-toolarge i currently have "./Maildir/" in my .qmail, now would i enter this code before or after "./Maildir/", Before. You would use $ cat $HOME/.qmail |condredirect $USER-toolarge $HOME/toolarge test ./Maildir/ and $ cat $HOME/.qmail-toolarge |$HOME/toolarge bounce or does the fact that it's in .qmail-default make qmail look at it first then .qmail? Nope, you can stick this in whatever .qmail file you wish, as long as you take care to point ``$USER-toolarge'' to ~user/.qmail-toolarge. thanks for the help. Hope this does.

Re: anyone done this: one mail domain, but users are split over two internal qmail-servers
off-topic You still needed a whopping *64K* to run a complete office productivity suite though (AppleWorks under ProDOS).
