: The machines are Dual's. Proc load is not an issue though, they never peak.
: Too many processors, IMO, just compromises stability. Each queue is bound to

That's what I'm going to try for. The machines do have dual ethernet cards
so I may even fiddle with that and see if it helps.
: Hopefully you're using 2.2.x. If this is the case you shouldn't need to,
: just make sure your file descriptors are high enough
: (/proc/sys/kernel/file-max).
2.2.x and sometimes 2.3.x. I remember in the past I had a problem with the
file descriptors but I haven't anytime in the last couple months.
: What I'm referring to is building the messages on a server separate to the
: one you're sending the mail from. Your server should still send to clients
: via SMTP (just because I imagine most clients don't support QMTP)...
That's what I meant. I was using "client machines" to refer to the machines in
my client/server configuration which send out the mail.
Thanks. You've given me some good ideas to check on and at least I know that
I should be getting more out of the systems.
