MB/s throughput isn't usually a factor, but IOPS definitely can be.
What's in the iostat tps column for the device your mail queues reside on?
If your mail queue resides on a single mechanical disk spindle you ma

Hi Ram,
I do have some more spare memory, but I'm afraid it doesn't resolve my
problem.
Let's say, my active queue is filled with 20,000 mails, but mails are
not going out but remains in memory. In this case if I increase active
queue size, I just put more mails in memory, they still don't go o

Then, you are sending all mail through the same relay host. Why
are you sending mass mail through a relay host?

It's a newsletter group. because it's congesting so I stopped posting
new mails. I think that's why all mails are from 1280+ min ago.
I use
find active/ | wc -l
which gives me 20,002, while
find incoming/ | wc -l
gives 130,000+
and the incoming queue is slowly decreasing.

There's nothing in my hold queue. MailScanner do you mean amavis? I

If I restart postfix, does it make the figure like that? because I

restarting. So mayb
