Many thanks to Scott Lambert for what I believe to be the solution to my

So, while Postfix is now performing better for you, I am

Thanks to everyone for suggestions about the load issue. I will
endeavor to provide more specific information. It took a while to move
everything off of that server so I could do the load testing with
smtp-source. Let me preface by saying that my real systems

Great. It's very helpful to have some comparison numbers to know what
the performance should be like. I'm going to start by getting that

I have never seen smtpd use up significant amounts of CPU, except
