JUst curious...in a high traffic mail server, what can the memory usage of
the SMTP and POP servers be expected to climb to? I knwo it's variable
depending on just how many messages are coming in, but we sent out our
newsletter mailing yesterday into this morning (about 250,000 recipients in
this mailing) and recorded bouncebacks, etc. The SMTP server and POP server
memory usage climbed to well over 100MB per...I think the SMTP server was at
like 178MB...mail had stopped coming in from bouncebacks a while
ago...perhaps the last point where any large frequency was coming in was
around 5 this morning. ANyway, the server memory usage was still up that
high. The POP server was around 110MB I think. This is the first time we
had iMS handling our bouncebacks, and outgoing mail is leaving from a
different server altogether, so it's just incoming mail that the server is
dealing with.
ANyways, please excuse my ignorance, but I'm just trying to figure out if
this is normal behavior for the server or not, and if not, whether I've
configured something poorly or what. The machine it's on is a dual
processor P3-500 (600?) with a gig of RAM.
