However, I quickly disabled courierfilter and have been running without it for the past 4 days, and this crazy thing does not let up! :-( My latest result from mailq shows 200,000 messages in the queue! > > I'd suggest stopping courier, moving its queue directory > aside, creating a new one, and starting courier back up. > Take the opportunity to examine the queue that's too full > to determine what source and destination addresses are > most common.

There are just way too many messages to even try and do some analysis. I don't know how to "pick" which queue files to look at, over 200,000 at the moment. I don't really know what to do. :-( I believe the high load is simply due to the fact that there are just so many messages in the queue that courier is kept busy working through them. What I don't understand is why courier seems to be so slow in processing the messages. I mean, going off the queue and only delivering 400-600 messages per hour would seem quite slow to me...? What exactly does MAXDELS do? Thanks again for your help... Ricardo ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
