Hi,
Im running qmail 1.03 with checkpassword 0.81 on a Pentium 133Mhz with 64
MB ram with RedHat, it has about 1000 accounts.
After installing the ver 0.81 of checkpassword the system runs like a dream.
But Ive got this new cusomer running Lotus Notes and he claims that it
needs to check all his 100 accounts at the same time, of what I can see the
system has "plenty" of power to handle this.
But when he does kick off this 100 requests at one time qmail spawns a lot
of pop3 processes and then after 30-50 has been executed pop3 dies
completely - why ?
And what can I do to make the system able to handle this kind of (ab)use ?
Thanks,
Thomas
P.S. here is a typical cut from top after I've installed the new checkpassword.
