Hi

I recently had a case where xmail got about a dozen mails at the same
time (with PSYNC). So I then had several threads doing virus scanning
and spam checking. As each thread only got a little CPU time they
timed out and the mails slipped through without being checked.

Apart from increasing the filter timeout time I would also like to lower
the number of threads doing the filtering in filter.in.tab. Are these the
SMAIL threads? So I need to give a lower -Qn argument?

I don't mind if a mail has to wait some minutes before it is filtered,
the filter is more important then the immediate delivery.

Are there any other effects with less threads? Is the responsiveness
still the same (should be so as they are handled from POP3/SMTP)?

Is there anything else that can be done in the filters except to
check if the @@FILE is still available to handle long filter runs?

Thanks

bye  Fabi
