RE: [IMail Forum] A Distribution list problem

[Grant Griffith - IMail]

What did you set the number of recipients too?  We use 500 here and that would only put 8 messages in the queue in your case.  We have a couple of very large lists a customer of ours has and this has never really caused a problem.   Sincerely, Grant Griffith EI8HT LEGS Enhanced Web Management A Division of ETC http://www.getafreewebsite.com 877-483-3393 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Drew Smith Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2004 3:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] A Distribution list problem I have two fairly large distribution lists. One has about 1600 email addresses and the other has about 2300 addresses. However no matter how hard we to ask them not to, when a user sends an email to the list they send it to both lists at one time. So we are looking at roughly 3900 addresses at one time that hit the queue. Here in lies out problem. The Queue manager service will take all of the processor resources to try and deliver these messages and nothing for the other services. Which basically means the email server is down until all of these messages are delivered to the proper mailboxes. I have adjusted the Mail threads and number of recipients per message with the help of Ipswitch. Still we come to the same result. Has anyone been in this situation before and if so I were you able to solve this problem.  Any tips will be greatly appreciated.   Drew Smith Sonic IT    ------------------------------------------------------------------ This electronic message and any attachments are confidential property and information of the sender and is intended only for the use of the person(s)to whom it is addressed.
