Dear friends:
Now, I am developing freemail system based on qmail. I test the qmail's
efficiency as following step.
My Machine is a 256MB Pentium II - 450 under FreeBSD 3.2
1. Local mailing lists: I tried sending a message to 1024 local mailboxs
on the same disk on my home machine. all the deliveries were done in about
40 seconds.(as describe in qmail author's homepage is 25.5 seconds)
my testing maillist file in /var/qmail/.qmail-help . The file content
1024 users.
# echo to:help|/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
According to /var/log/maillog, take about 40 seconds.
2. Separate local messages: I disabled qmail's deliberies and then sent
5000 separate messages to 5000 recipient. The message were all safely
written to queue disk in 6 minutes. After I reenabled deliveries, all the
message were delivered to recipient's mailbox in under about 36 minutes.
End-to-end time: 42 minutes. ( as described in author's homepage , all the
message were deliver to the recipient's mailbox in under 12 minutes)
# echo to:test1|/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
:
:
# echo to:test5000|/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
The results is much more slow than described in author's homepage, who
can tell me why and how can I speed up my test.
Thanks in advanced.
