Re: Low Email Engine Output - Closing Connection

2009-05-18 Thread Geoffrey Endresen
We had a problem with patch 6 of ars 7.1 where we unintentionally had
one email that was very large 2 MB. It basically froze the java
process.

Also how much memory did you specify on the emaild.sh line that starts java?

 The server has ample free space.  We rarely rise above 40% total CPU usage

 have not come close to reaching them yet.
