Well
Ipswitch told me to use a formula.
((Number
of Total Threads) � (Number for reties) � (Threads for other messages) ) / 2 = Number of Threads for each
list
Number
of Total Threads = 70
Number
of Retries = 15
Threads
for other messages = 11
Number
of Threads for each list = 22
(Number
of addresses in the list) / (number of threads for each list) = number of
recipients per message
So I
came out with
List
number1 (contains 1600 addresses) = 73
recipients
List
number2 (contains 2300 addresses) = 105
recipients

list problem
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.

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.
