I run a list with ~200 recipients that sees about 80-100 posts per day. It's running 2.1.5 on Solaris 8 (pretty well patched) on a SunBlade 100 with plenty of memory and disk. On a pretty regular basis, I see messages take a long time to make it through the Mailman queue. Today's example was for 50 minutes. I think. It's hard to tell. But here's some sendmail logs:
Here's where it came in: Mar 14 06:58:05 REMOVED sm-mta[22367]: [ID 801593 mail.info] j2EEvxPo022367: from=<REMOVED>, size=2487, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=REMOVED [REMOVED] and here's the first batch it sent out: Mar 14 07:48:30 REMOVED sm-mta[26377]: [ID 801593 mail.info] j2EFmTgK026377: [EMAIL PROTECTED], size=3530, class=-30, nrcpts=24, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1] I looked at the logs and found this: the previous post finished at 07:48:29, suspiciously 1 second before the first batch of the next message was sent. This post finished at 08:08:09 ... 20 minutes later? Could it really be taking 20 minutes to post? The entry in the smtp log says this: Mar 14 08:08:09 2005 (25898) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> smtp for 209 recips, completed in 1180.264 seconds So, uh, yes I guess it did take that long. I use weekly archives, and this week's archive directory only has about a dozen messages in it. The HTML archive was generated at 07:50:19 ... So I guess there are two variables at work here that determine latency: how long it takes to do one message, and how many messages are ahead of you. Any ideas why this is taking so long or where else I could look to check into it?
