Hi,
any results on the below questions from the qmail list? I feel like I'm
experiencing the very same behaviour in my test environment. But IMHO
not necessarilly related to NFS or Solaris (same with linux). Both POP3
and SMTP seem to be affected.

TIA

We have several sparcs (solaris 2.6) sharing user's maildirs via NFS on
a Netapp 760 filer.  We have noticed that when we first boot the
machines, we get great performance.

After the first 24 hours though, the same # of users cause the load on
these machines to slow down substantially.

By the 2nd day, these machines feel like molasses, and the only way to
fix this is a reboot.  The bottleneck appears to be NFS related.
We run NFS vers 2/UDP between the SPARCS and the NetApp.

Has anyone seen this kind of behavior before while running qmail?
[It doesn't seem to be related to qmail at all as far as we can tell]

Thanks,
