I agree with you but my situation is a little differentOn Wed, 25 Jun 2003, Ramprasad A Padmanabhan wrote: > I dont want to increase no of concurrent lmtp connection on the contrary > decrease them. I figured out the way of decreasing them But still the > results are no great I have postfix (2.0) delivering stuff here to up to 5000 users in a single lmtp session (AND as a single message, too. We use it for site-wide newsletters). You just need to make sure all the limits (such as recipient limit, per-transport limits, etc) agree. Postfix will open one lmtp connection to cyrus, and use that for all it can (that does mean to deliver a bunch of different mails to different recipients). It will open a new lmtp connection only if all the current ones are "busy" connections, AND you haven't told it not to (by limiting the number of lmtp transports in master.cf). It will tear down the lmtp connection only after it was idle for a while.
I must have explained my problem more clearly, I have got around only 10 recepients per newsletter on an average and there are around 700 such newsletters to be delivered. These are news articles people have subscribed to accourding to interests
Suppose Now I increase the number of lmtp_concurrent connections and if multiple instances of ltmp are trying to deliver to the same mailbox then these mailboxes will get locked , so again There will be lmtp connections waiting. I havent tried out increasing the number of concurrent connections per user because I want to be sure before I change anything on the live server
Thanks
