Hi Ian, I just see that exim can handle only 1000 concurrent connections(for sending out emails via SMTP), more will get error with loadrunner. Exim does not utilize full of the cpu/memory of the server. I have this additional configuration: root@mail:/etc/exim4/conf.d/main# cat 00_local_settings smtp_accept_max=1000000 smtp_accept_queue_per_connection=0 queue_run_max=10000 remote_max_parallel=1000 smtp_connect_backlog=50
No error found in the log too. Any configurations can let Exim4 use all the resources like cpu/memory? Thanks!
