Well it must work but if you make these changes literally as you wrote
above, you are missing a "/" on the path to your list.

It works. I have set up several large lists 2000 or more users and it
really improves in a noticeably way the delivery. I am doing it on the
same environment that you are doing. RedHat. But perhaps, if your
lists become too rich on domains, the standard is to take different
jobs for delivery by each 20 domains, you may find you are on the need
to increase the number of openned files allowed if you ran out of file
tables.

Forever is going to start... right now!!!
