I applogise if I am off track here , but from what I understand qmail has its own delivery schedule , so if a mail has been in the queue for a period of time, qmail retries sending at ever increasing time intervals, altering the number of messages qmail delivers at any one time is not going to affect that. This solutions seems to allow for manipulation of qmail delivery schedule which would be beneficial. No client wants to here that there was a problem 10 hours ago and now there email is only going to be delivered in 4 hours.

This will not achieve anything which is not already achieved with the qmail remote concurrency manipulation which we have discussed previously. -- Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lead Product Developer Network Server Solutions Group http://www.e-smith.com/ Mitel Networks Corporation http://www.mitel.com/ Phone: +1 (613) 592 5660 or 592 2122 Fax: +1 (613) 592 1175 -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
