Re: Snapshot 20091109, queue disk partition sizing

Stefan F?rster:
 If I understood the release notes correctly, with smtpd_proxy_options
 = speed_adjust, each smtpd process will keep the message it's
 currently receiving in a temporary file. That seems to imply that
 there could be
 
 (number of smtpd processes) * message_size_limit
 
 bytes of queue space allocated in temporary files. I _think_ that this
 is not different from a setup without a content filter  which would
 mean I don't have to increase the disk partition keeping the queue -
 is that assumption correct?

By default, the Postfix requires 1.5*message_size_limit of free
space before it accepts mail.

Right now, the before-proxy scratch files are put in the incoming
queue, but that may still chnage.

I didn't change the formula (to 2.5*message_size_limit) for that
reason.

Thank you for that clarification.

Now, about logging - I'd be really grateful if the existing logging
functionality could be extended in a way so that the pre-queue
content filter's response is logged.

I know that it is actually the content filter's job to log what it did
during an ESMTP transaction, but I think if Postfix logged the
filter's response, correlating logs would be much easier.
