[Mailman-Users] Mailman Slow Delivery
Hello All, I have been using mailman+sendmail on a CentOS Linux VPS box, with 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(TM) MP CPU 3.66GHz CPUs, and 2 GB RAM. The list is of around 65000 users. Form the past few weeks server seems to be very slow in delivering mails. I have been receiving mailer approximately with 2 hours delay. ***Mailman is taking 30979.910 seconds for 65660 users*** Oct 31 10:02:28 2010 (7270) 201010310625.o9v6py9t028...@xyz.com smtp to xyz for 65660 recips, completed in 30979.910 seconds ***Whereas another server with came Specs and configuration is just taking 12517.834 for larger (79579) number of users.*** Oct 31 19:10:25 2010 (12027) 201010311653.o9vgrcqx024...@abc.com smtp to abc for 79579 recips, completed in 12517.834 seconds Can you please suggest me how to improvise the performance of mailman or how about if I want to migrate the mailman from Sendmail to Exim ?

Also, possibly Mailman's out/ queue is backlogged. ***Whereas another server with came Specs and configuration is just taking 12517.834 for larger (79579) number of users.*** Oct 31 19:10:25 2010 (12027) 201010311653.o9vgrcqx024...@abc.com smtp to abc for 79579 recips, completed in 12517.834 seconds That's still too long to be viable. Can you please suggest me how to improvise the performance of mailman Go to the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 and search for performance. or how about if I want to migrate the mailman from Sendmail to Exim ?

[Mailman-Users] mailman slow
Hello, Running version 2.1.4 it seems that mail is taking longer and longer. What used to take a few minutes is now taking an hour or two to get thru Mailman. Top indicates the machine is not busy and the mail is not in the queue. It seems to be waiting in the mailman process. Any ideas? I'm stumped at this point. As always any ideas are appreciated.

Similar problems have been reported in the past that were apparently caused by directories (usually in qfiles) at some point growing very large. This creates a situation where even though the directory currently has few if any entries, a very large (very sparse) disk directory must be searched to store new entries. Try 'ls -l qfiles' and see if any of the directories (most likely 'out', but maybe others) are quite large. If this is the case, you can stop mailman, move the large directory aside, create a new directory with the same ownership and permissions and move the contents back and start mailman. If you want to do this with qfiles/in, you should probably stop the incoming MTA while doing it. You also might look at the size of the locks/ directory. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman Slow or Stalled
Hi folks, I'm running debian, postfix and mailman. Mailman has the standard settings it hand when I used apt-get to install it. It manages a half dozen lists with a few dozen people on it, which get a few messages a month. For a while everything worked just fine. Somewhere along the line, messages started taking a few hours to be processed. Now they seem to get hung up permanently. After reading through the archives here, I poked around a bit in /var/lib/mailman/logs. I checked /var/log/mail.log, and in there I see my message being dispatched off to /var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper Oct 24 20:47:37 bar postfix/nqmgr[25231]: BF3493CD2C: from=[EMAIL PROTECTED], size=938, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 24 20:47:40 bar postfix/local[8807]: BF3493CD2C: to=[EMAIL PROTECTED], relay=local, delay=3, status=sent (|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post foobar) However, in /var/lib/mailman/logs, the only files that have been touched anytime recently are smtp and subscribe: Oct 11 06:41:03 2003 (5364) smtp for 8 recips, completed in 0.250 seconds Oct 18 11:08:07 2003 (7251) smtp for 1 recips, completed in 0.068 seconds Oct 24 20:54:27 2003 (8987) smtp for 1 recips, completed in 0.156 seconds I think the 1 recip was mailman notifying the address that I just subscribed to the list. This leads me to suspect that mailman is *sending* mail just fine, and *receiving* mail, but that the break is somewhere in between. Steven J.
