Hi all,

        I need some help to fine tune a mail server.
The machine is running (Fbsd 5.4) for a long time, but I'm seeing too many connections droped in sendmail log, and some users complains about timeout connecting to smtp port.

From the handbook I increased the kern.ipc.somaxconn to 1024 as sugested. Using "ps axH" shows about 350 processes.

With "netstat -s -p tcp" worrys me the value of "listen queue overflows", is it normal?
        Bellow is the full output of netstat.
        What else can I use to track the problem?

Thank you,

- Marcelo Souza
