Hi,

I have been setup a linux-box PII/450, 256MB RAM, 4 GB IDE HDD, 100mbit
bandwitch
with RehHat 6.2, qmail 1.03 + ezmlm-idx with MySQL + vpopmail.

qmail (standard tgz file with only the qmail-date-localtime patch) is
compiled with:  
conf-split = 300
conf-spawn = 255

/var/qmail/bin:
concurrencylocal  = 30
concurrencyremote = 100

Now I has tried to send a Newsletter to 180.000 subscribers. The system
needs 5 1/2 hours
for delivery( 9 mails per second), but I mean it's to long?!
The average bandwich during the delivery is 70k-100k it's to slightly for an
100mbit Connection.

If I look for qmail processes, ther are only 3-5 qmail-remote processes.
netstat -an show me 100-200 socket connections to smpt servers on port 25.
vmstat shows an average idle time between 65%-78%.
memory use is ca. 200 MB, swap is untouched.

What can I do, for higher performance?
Have I errors in my configuration?
