The problem was that there were 5000 total recipients. So the initial delivery attempts took forever. I saw some inconsistent behavior with new messages. Sometimes the new messages would come in and be delivered. Other times the new messages would get held in the queue. > But as far as I understood you, you just had a bunch of messages > dumped that took up all your bandwidth. That's all. Right. It took about 14 hours to process the initial delivery attempts. The only thing I can think of that would be useful for me in this situation would be to have a dedicated process for delivering to my internal server. Basically some way to tell Courier that there should always be at least one delivery process available for a particular server. This way, regardless of how busy the queue gets, incoming messages would not get delayed. Of course, whacking the user with a clue-bat and telling them to send those kind of messages at the end of the day so they can process overnight would help too! :) -- Bowie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
