newbie question with concurrency remote

2001-05-11 Thread Michael Geier

I am running qmail on:
RedHat 6.2
256 Mb Ram

I set concurrency remote = 150...

however, most of the time, it seems like only a handful of remote processes
are running, even though the queue backs up (right now, over 14000 msgs in
queue and only 20 remote processes running)...

Anybody have an idea about how to force it to run faster or at least not
kill off my qmail-remote processes?

New to this list so hope I provided enough info.

Are you sure concurrencyremote is set to 150? You restarted qmail-send
after changing it? The logs reflect the 150 setting?

Faster disk
More memory
Faster network
Replace syslog with multilog
Install djbdns, run dnscache
Kill non-qmail processes
Faster CPU

or at least not kill off my qmail-remote processes?

What makes you think qmail-remote processes are being killed off?

Most likely you did not restart qmail after changing concurrencyremote, as
20 is the default maximum for this.  `man qmail-send` for details.

thanks for the tips Dave...

to those that had replied:
I had rebooted qmail (frequently)...
I installed djbdns, killed splogger, and rebooted server

things seem to be much better.
