Todd, I think your issue might be the java heap size. The following will show you how to increase the # of threads used to 4.
You can try the following (assuming windows here): 1. Open up the registry and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SYSTEM>CurrentControlSet>Services>BMC Remedy Email Engine>Parameters 2. Edit the JVM Option Count. Should be set to 2. Change it to 4. 3. Create a new String. Value name should be JVM Option Number 2 Value data should be -Xms128m 4. Create another new String. Value name should be JVM Option Number 3 Value data should be -Xmx512m 5. Now in the emaildaemon.properties file, use these params: a. com.bmc.arsys.emaildaemon.NumberOfSenderThreads=4 b. com.bmc.arsys.emaildaemon.FetchUserGroupInfoOnDemand=true Hope this helps your performance woes. It helped me a great deal.

I suppose that normally that is adequate if you poll every minute but during heavy message traffic even then it can cause significant delays. You cannot increase the parm or the email engine will fail to start. Support suggested adding parms: com.bmc.arsys.emaildaemon.NumberOfSenderThreads=1 com.bmc.arsys.emaildaemon.OutgoingConnectionRecycleSize=200 But for what I don't know, didn't change a thing. I tried to remove the ChunkSize parm and raise the RecycleSize and no change also. 100 is just inadequate, we have 9000 in the queue now! Anyone else experience this / have a solution?
