Sorry for picking this thread up late, but I was curious if you have run any performance monitoring tools on this box or are you just assuming the SM is the culprit. At the very least have you run and monitored TOP on this machine to see who your top processes are.
My mail server is on a E-220-R dual 450Mhz's and performance has never been an issue with my mail clients. Are you running NFS on this machine and is NFS hard or soft mounted? Is there any processes on this machine using RPC's heavily. Does your LDAP server use a DB backend or are you using flat files? What process is being used for authentication? Are the clients seeing a degradation is performance and what do they call "slow"? Do you have non-SM mail users on this system and what kind of performance are they seeing? Once a user is authenticated to the mail server LDAP should have very little to do with this. At that point is all between the Web Server, SM and the what ever IMAP Server you are using. Again sorry is all of this was asked. ---- Peter P. Benac, CCNA Celtic Spirit Network Solutions Providing Network and Systems Project Management and Installation and Web Hosting.
