I have an smtpd setup as below:
listen on lo0
listen on em0
map "aliases" { source db "/etc/mail/aliases.db" }
accept from all for domain "sullivan.in" alias aliases deliver to mda "procmail
-f -"
accept from all for local alias aliases deliver to mda "procmail -f -"
accept from local for all relay
I try to send a message has a few attachments -- making it 22220 lines long and
1.6 megabytes. A copy of the message is at:
http://ugcs.caltech.edu/~irene/drop/longmail
I run:
date;sendmail [email protected] < longmail ;date
to see how long it takes for smtpd to enqueue the message -- it takes
12 minutes to do so. The CPU on this machine is otherwise idle, and none
of the smtpd processes use up much CPU time when the sendmail command is
running.
12 minutes to transmit 22220 lines comes out to about 30 lines per second --
which seems oddly low.
if I run smtpd -dv and do the above, I get:
smtp_new: incoming client on listener: 0x3c009a40
session_pickup: greeting client

smtp: got imsg_mfa_helo/mail/rcpt/quit

[repeated ``smtp: got imsg_mfa_helo/mail/rcpt/quit'' lines, apparently one for
every line in the email]
