queue 'blocked' by large recipient list
Hello everybody, the ORNL search engine is down, and I've run into a little problem, so please excuse me if the subject has already been discussed when sending a newsletter to ~450K recipients, the queue fills up, the server spawns concurrencyremote qmail-remote processes and starts delivering the newsletter (this takes ~10-14 hours) at the same time, an online application tries to send a subscribal message to new users, this should be processed very fast (the new user is waiting for his account data), but the mail is sent out after the newsletter processing is done is there any way to 'split' the remote queue between different applications (or users) sending mail to get rid of this problem ? or are there any other solutions for this ? regards thanks in advance, Chris

Run 2 qmail instances on your server - one for mailinglists, one for regular mail. Greetz, Peter -- Against Free Sex! http://www.dataloss.nl/Megahard_en.html
