Re: Slow Slow Mail Delivery, Not Trigger Permissions
Ok, here's my configuration. If anyone can tell me why I have slow mail delivery, I checked the Trigger permissions and they are supposedly fine. Any insight would be so greatly appreciated. Pentium III 550 256 Megs of Ram FreeBSD 3.3 Rackspace.Com Network (Multiple OC3 - Peering on several backbones) Top reports the system as being 97.3% Idle. Qmail-Qstat reports : Messages In Queue: 44 Message in Queue but notyet preprocessed: 0 And the number does not drop too quickly. In fact, it takes several hours for mail to clear out.

Re: Slow Slow Mail Delivery, Not Trigger Permissions
Just because showctl prints out all of my virtualdomains and rcpthosts and qmail-send is logged under maillog on my system and it's full of tcpserver stuff. If you can give me something to yank out of the log that is of interest to you I can grab it. Same with showctl, I'm not sure what you need from that but I can send whatever you want me to.

Re: Slow Slow Mail Delivery, Not Trigger Permissions
Ok so you guys want me to attach my log or something? If you're sure that's what you need I would be more than happy. Let me know I'll send it to your private boxes.

If you're concerned about their size or which parts are relevant, the recommended practise is to dump them on a web page and just email the URL to the list. It might be nice if they were split up a little bit. The split command does nicely in that regard. Regards.

If you can't post the last 30 lines or so to the list, I guess you'll have to investigate other options like hiring a consultant, figuring it out yourself, or switching to another MTA. -Dave

That's part of the reason why Dave (and his FAQ) recommend providing as much info as you can. No one yet knows what is relevant. It's hard to provide too much information in such circumstances, as different readers have probably formulated potential causes and each will look at different info to start with. Almost certainly one of them will be right. Do you want each reader to be able to test their theories easily by maximizing what they are told or do you want to discourage them by making them "work" the information out of you? Regards.

Anyone know why mail delivery could be extremely slow? My trigger file is setup correctly and I am looking for some really really helpful answers, soon *gulp* REgards, Julian
