I had the same problem and was grappling with it for few days.
I have done th following to ease the situation.
1. Apply the big concurrency patch
2. I applied concurrenty value of 500 in th files conncurrencylocal
and concurrencyremote
3. Applied the BIG Todo patch (this patch has more or less solved my
problem
4. change the file split-conf to 151 from default 23
5. Dowloaded qmHandle package to show me the remote and local files
in the queue
6. Stoped the tcpserver listening on port 25
7. Allowed the queue to drop to zero
8. did make setup check in the qmail package to recompile the package
9. Started qmail
(Also if you are using queue-fix package don't forget to apply queue-fix
todo patch also)
Whenever the number deliver of remote mails become high, I see the deliver
of local mails
also suffering. So once in a while I make the concurrency value in
concurrencyremote to
zero and restart qmail to deliver only the local mails
I do not know what your setup is. Mine is on Solaris 2.6 on E3500 with very
High I/O
bottleneck. But on the same box critical path's mplex was doing local
delivery much
better than qmail. I am still working on how to improve the local deliver
speeds. Will share the results when I am successful
Hope some of these may help.
