If your queue is large (and the concept of "large" really depends on your hardware -- it could mean 1000 entries, or 50000), you might also want to add one of: -OQueueSortOrder=file or -OQueueSortOrder=random to your 'sendmail -q' invocation. The default QueueSortOrder is "priority", which means that before processing any queued message, the queue runner needs to read each qf file, get the priority, and then process the resulting list in priority order. Using 'file', the queue runner just processes them in filename order, which is fine if you have one queue runner. If you want to run multiple queue runners, the 'random' method is better, as the queue runners won't be trying to process the queued files in the same order Cheers, Dave -- Dave O'Neill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Roaring Penguin Software Inc. +1 (613) 231-6599 ext. 104 http://www.roaringpenguin.com/ For CanIt technical support, please mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
