I am setting up a Mailman instance that will deliver to around 10,000 local users. Can anyone suggest appropriate settings for Mailman and Sendmail to optimize performance?
There are far too many variables in the equation to be able to simply throw out some numbers. Odds are that you're going to have to read a number of Mailman FAQ Wizard entries and try some things out and see what works for you.
Specifically I am interested in suggestions for the following Mailman options:
SMTP_MAX_RCPTS SMTP_MAX_SESSIONS_PER_CONNECTION MAX_DELIVERY_THREADS
Please go to the FAQ Wizard at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py> and search for "performance" and also search for "tuning". Pay particular attention to the entry at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.003.htp> You should also take a look at the entries returned by searching for "VERP".
If you want to go further down this road, beg borrow or steal a copy of Nick Christenson's book "Sendmail Performance Tuning".
