Hi Matt!

Since the upgrade, at peak times, the messages take a lot of time to be
sent. They usually took 2s to 3s at most, now they always take 10s+
(sometimes more than 2min or 3min!).

From the amavis.log, it seems that the problem is in the SMTP-* and
fwd-* sections. Always.

[...]

 From the fwd-connect I'd think about a reverse DNS lookup timeout...?

But everything seems fine. :-/

Do you have rDNS activated

No.

> and if yes, is the host able to resolve
127.0.0.1 or the local IP...?

Yes, and the files /etc/hosts, /etc/host.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf are configured correctly.

Usually, the 4 sections that "eat" most of the time are SMTP DATA, fwd-data, fwd-connect and fwd-data-end.

I accumulated the statistics of 256 msgs to give a better picture of what we are seeing, these are the results:

772.31s (28.01%) SMTP DATA     | 3.71s ( 0.13%) SMTP LHLO
482.99s (17.52%) fwd-connect   | 3.14s ( 0.11%) SMTP pre-DATA-flush
438.94s (15.92%) fwd-data      | 2.53s ( 0.09%) unlink-files
300.61s (10.90%) fwd-data-end  | 0.64s ( 0.02%) body hash
177.31s ( 6.43%) fwd-rcpt-to   | 0.61s ( 0.02%) sql-connect
139.92s ( 5.07%) SA check      | 0.54s ( 0.02%) SA parse
127.49s ( 4.62%) fwd-rundown   | 0.38s ( 0.01%) SA msg read
126.30s ( 4.58%) write-header  | 0.31s ( 0.01%) rundown
117.27s ( 4.25%) fwd-mail-from | 0.02s ( 0.00%) save-to-local-mailbox
 27.47s ( 1.00%) AV-scan-1     | 0.02s ( 0.00%) sql-prepare
 21.37s ( 0.77%) mime_decode   | 0.01s ( 0.00%) create email.txt
  7.59s ( 0.28%) lookup_sql    | 0.01s ( 0.00%) mkdir parts
  5.58s ( 0.20%) SMTP pre-MAIL | 0.00s ( 0.00%) mkdir tempdir

We have been beating our heads for some days trying to figure this out, but can't think of any possible solution... :-(

Any other guess or tip?

[]s!
