Matt,

I have been running 3.0.5.7 on a single and multi proc machine both of which process over 100K messages a day with one getting close to 150K with no issues. Everything is processing fine. Under 3.0.5.7 I am not seeing the country and mailfrom issue I seen in the 3.0.5.5 version. Also, the sleep issue I seen in earlier versions does not occur in 3.0.5.7.

Depending on your volume you will need to tweak the settings for how the threads operate. If you have a bursty flow and a high thread count you can see pretty good prolonged cpu spikes because you will/could have a bunch of external processes launched at the exact same time. Under the old versions <2.x this was not an issue since processes were launched as the volume came in balanced over time - as you know with 3.x it batches processes messages for the most part. With some tweaking you can mitigate it fairly well.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Wondering about Declude 3.x


Since things have been quite for some time, I just wanted to check up on what is happening with 3.x. The last that I heard, there were several people having issues with multi-processor systems. The thread settings also concern me in the way that they are being implemented. It appears from reports that these can greatly affect the performance of a system (and therefore it's stability/ability), and knowing how variable E-mail can be, I'm not sure that this is something that I would want to have hard coded on my system. I would hope that there would be another way to go about this.

Right now I'm on 2.0.6.16 and have been for some time, but as bugs arise, and bug fixes are released, I would like to have the peace of mind to upgrade to the latest code, but I'm not sure that I have that yet.

I know that the folks at Declude have been working long and hard at this for sometime now, and I don't want to disrespect that hard work, but I would appreciate an update on where things are, and where they are going as far as the service issues go.

Thanks,

Matt
