Hi all,
I am a new entry in the list :-).
I have a peculiar problem.
I have two installation of qmail.
One one Linux box. Installed with rpm.
Max concurrency-remote=120
The second on a sun box
using the source tarballs.
I patched the qmail source with the qmail dns patch, the
big-todo.patch,big-concurrency.patch and installed the usual things.
All seemed well. The installation was smoth execpt for a glitch saying
that the sun box has a hidden max FD's of 1024 do the max
concurrency-remote can be 509. so i put 500 and installed.
Now the control/concurrency-remote is set to 400.
The problem is when i send a blast of mails say 150000 from both the
boxes. The Qmail on the sun box takes ages to send while the Linux box
does it in a giffy.
More over the bandwidth is same for both boxex.
The sun box has 1GB of MEM and is running oracle and has arround 350 Mem
free at almost all times.
The Linux box is the primary webserver and has 256MB MEM and has loads
of services running on it.
I really max the potential on my linux box.
I would like to know if any one of u have faced a similar problem on
SunOS 5.8.
One thing i saw was that during the mail blast the "iowait" on the sun
box is huge. more than 50% at all times.
Thanks.
Any help is appreciated.
PS. I am sorry for the length mail but i think it was necessary.
Regards
neo.
