This looks interesting. My mailserver (apart from this one user's occasional email broadcasts) is fairly low volume. Even with everything getting backed up yesterday, I only saw about 75 messages in the queue. So queuelo and queuehi don't really come into play. What is the behavior if the queue size never goes above queuelo? How often does Courier check queuelo and attempt to refill the memory queue? Since I have plenty of resources to spare on this machine, should I decrease queuefill? I don't see an example of the queuefill setting anywhere. What is the format? Is this a file with a number in it, or a setting that goes in courierd? -- Bowie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download new Adobe(R) Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 The new Adobe(R) Flex(R) 4 and Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 (formerly Flex(R) Builder(TM)) enable the development of rich applications that run across multiple browsers and platforms.
