You might need to disable services you don't need (pop3, pop3ssl, and associated logs), and throttle others back a bit (concurrencyincoming). lsof will show which services are using each open file. QMT does need a lot of open files, but my numbers indicate that you should be able to make it work for just 2 accounts with no problem. -- -Eric 'shubes' - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Limiting number of open files
It seems that the major open-files consumer is spamdyke. I have disabled pop3, pop3-ssl and imap, but there is no noticeable change. I'll test disabling spamdyke and see the result.

[qmailtoaster] Re: Limiting number of open files
Which version of spamdyke? Do you have any defunct spamdyke processes? There was a problem with spamdyke leaving defunct processes from TLS sessions, which has been fixed in the latest version (4.1.0). spamdyke doesn't have any files open when there are no smtp sessions active. I'm seeing 24 files for spamdyke per session. HTH. -- -Eric 'shubes' Natalio Gatti wrote: It seems that the major open-files consumer is spamdyke.

I had 4.0.10. I'm updating now to 4.1.0 and see what happens. On Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 6:42 PM, Eric Shubert e...@shubes.net wrote: Which version of spamdyke?
