I wondered if anyone had considered an option to use memcached for exim's hints databases? http://www.danga.com/memcached/
This has a very simple API (get/set) and distributes records dynamically across a pool of servers. memcached takes care of expiring old records. For a large cluster it might reduce the retry load when sending mail. It could also be useful for fanf's recent rate-limiting additions in 4.52, although I'd probably want memcached to snapshot its state to disk periodically in that case. Just a thought... Cheers, Brian. -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
