Much as I hate to help anyone who wants to send 25Gb of email in one shot,
whatever the reason... (Is there a valid reason for ever sending 25Gb of
mail? Answers on a postcard, please... And please, I don't want to start a
religious spam/anti-spam war, was just asking in a rhetorical kind of way. ;^)
To me, the question that hasn't been cleared up is, what exactly is failing?
Assuming the script is correctly sending 100 emails to a user via qmail, then
what is failing when this is increased to 500,000? If qmail works fine for
100, then it should work fine for 500,000. Unless there is anything in the
qmail log(s) to indicate qmail is failing?
I suspect that the problem is actually in the perl script that is being used.
It looks to me like you are creating 10 threads within the script. Each
thread then sends 10 emails, giving you 100 transmissions in total. How do
you amend the script so that it then sends 500,000 emails? If you are
increasing the number of threads being created, then you will probably be
hitting an operating system limit on the number of threads. Alternatively,
you could also be hitting the max process count.
Check what your script is doing. While your there, get rid of the $var1 and
$count variables - they don't seem to be doing anything...
Hope this helps
