Greetings all. I’ve been running qmail on my servers and vms for about 20 years and it’s mostly worked great, but I’m having a thumper of a slowdown problem on my current setup and I can’t get to the bottom of it… any help appreciated. The environment is a very lightly-used private VM running ce

for about 15 years, and for the most part it’s worked reliably and well, but every once in a while spammers change tactics and figure out a way through and there’s an upsurge for a bit. I’ll give sa-learn a shot and see if it improves anything. Cheers, Steve -- Steve Linberg, Chief Goblin
