Not quite your original request, but you could put your mail queue in a 
RAMdisk.  Then pump up concurrencyremote to 500 or 1000 and watch qmail
pump out tens of thousands of messages a minute...

Re: Balancing multiple queues

2000-11-10 Thread qma

Interesting idea.
I have concurrency remote right now at 257, have the big-todo patches in
etc.  But whenever i do a ps ax| grep qmail-remote -c
Its usually between 30-90.  I have over 60k messages in the queue.  Goes
out fast, but still i think it could go faster?
Any reasons for this?  

starting to hunt for RAMdisk info...

Without seeing the logs we'd be guessing. You can find the exact peak concurrency
from the logs (why use an inaccurate ps for this?). You can see if qmail-remotes
are exiting abnormally from the logs.

Check your logs first. RAMdisk is unlikely to affect your system reaching
concurrency-remote if you're not injecting new mails at the time.
