Hi ALL, I am runnig the qmail-1.03 with Iain Pattersonbs Mysql patch - and running the pop3 and smtp servers thru tcpserver. The hassels I am having involve there being a LOT of smtpd daemons running - is this supposed to happen - Are they supposed to start up and then die after completion or do they stay open - which is what I think is happening with me?? The same with the pop3d as well - after a while I run out of memory and the machine starts using swap?? This then slows everything down and then sending and recieving mail is SLOW?? Can anyone please hepl - I also have a LARGE userbase on the sever >15000 mailboxes!! Thanks Tonino
