Hi Viktor, Thanks for your time and patience. I added the "relay" transport to reach conrepmail.com and it became a bit faster yesterday. And today it is somehow smooth but I still want to fasten it up. Is there any method through which the mails to conrepmail.com can be stored on a local account and later I can read them through POP3?
Kindly suggest. -----Original Message----- From: owner-postfix-us...@postfix.org [mailto:owner-postfix-us...@postfix.org] On Behalf Of Viktor Dukhovni Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2014 9:27 PM To: postfix-users@postfix.org Subject: Re: Mails time before queue manager On Wed, Apr 02, 2014 at 09:48:05AM +0530, KK Patnaik wrote: > 1) [root@smtp2]#qshape incoming active deferred > T 5 10 20 40 80 160 > TOTAL 95414 8130 5019 11477 13835 33457 23496 > conrepmail.com 16397 1871 606 1255 3142 6792 2731 > aol.com 743 30 45 83 97 308 180 > vsoftconsulting.com 356 10 12 49 43 146 96 > nihaki.com 308 8 9 24 47 130 90 > baanyan.com 277 7 8 26 42 115 79 > sbcglobal.net 270 11 6 30 37 109 77 > net.com 265 30 19 28 38 83 67 > erpanderp.com 253 4 11 29 32 109 68 > techgene.com 240 10 12 19 42 91 66 > stansource.com 230 7 11 35 29 85 63 > a1k.com 225 7 8 26 33 93 58 > canvasinfotech.com 222 8 7 33 32 84 58 > comsys.com 221 25 14 35 29 69 49 > rsrit.com 214 8 11 28 35 88 44 > usmsystems.com 213 4 13 26 24 87 59 > compunnel.com 211 8 9 25 28 91 50 Out of ~96000 still queued messages that arrived in a 2--3 hour window, 1 in 6 is a bounce back to your own domain. If you're not a spammer, your list management practices are extremely poor. If your intent is to process mail for legitimate non-spamming customers, you are not doing a good job of keeping the folks with garbage lists away. Furthermore, why are bounces back to your own domain not delivered promptly? Your bounce rate should probably be well below 2%, not 16%. You should be using the "relay" transport to reach conrepmail.com so that bounces don't queue behind outbound mail. I asked for collated samples for delayed mail from some of the above most delayed domains, below you show mail that was not substantially delayed. You're wasting everyone's time presenting tiny crumbs of information, and often the wrong crumbs. There are still no "c+d" statistics (moving expontially decaying average over time is best). # If handling multi-recipient mail, process only the first of # multiple log entries with same smtpd[<pid>] and same queue-id # logged during the same minute. # foreach SMTP delivery # insert real code here $meancd = 0.99 * $meancd + 0.01 * ($c + $d); if ($count % 100 == 0) { printf "%s %s\n", $delivery_time, $meancd; } > Mar 31 09:11:15 smtp2 postfix/smtpd[16466]: connect from > mm3.conrep.com[76.12.143.99] Mar 31 09:11:15 smtp2 postfix/qmgr[10231]: 8872C12400DC: > from=<uemlmm3_87001237348238_100130003...@conrepmail.com>, size=53529, > nrcpt=1 (queue active) No delay entering the active queue, and this is not one of the domains at the top of the qshape listing AND: > Mar 31 09:11:18 smtp2 postfix/smtp[15252]: 8872C12400DC: > to=<ab...@promorphics.com>, > relay=promorphics-com.mail.protection.outlook.com[207.46.163.138]:25, > delay=2.9, delays=0.07/0/0.16/2.6, dsn=2.6.0, status=sent > (250 2.6.0 <20140331131115.8872c1240...@smtp2.conrepmail.com> > [InternalId=22514218568637, > Hostname=DM2PR04MB527.namprd04.prod.outlook.com] > Queued mail for delivery) the "a + b" delays here sum to 0.07 seconds.
