We have found inbound mail to be very disk i/o bound
w/o doing much to the cpu. so we added another disk
and have two instances running. it lets us handle twice
the load.
you need the box to handle 2 IPs;
for the second instance recompile w/ the value in:
/export/home/qmail-1.03/conf-qmail to hold the
home of the second queue, say /var/qmail2 instead
of the default /var/qmail
the spot in your tcpserver line that says 0 smtp
should be changed to be:
mail_instance_1.domain.com smtp
and repeat the tcpserver startup for another instance.
make sure to both qmail instances are started in your
init script.
