You are not wrong Jose. I was using -maxdomains 2 only for testing,
because my test list was so small (less than 20 subscribers). With the
default of 20 the messages were going out, but I had no splitting into
batches. After all the effort I wanted to see BM in action!
Now I have BM on two lists. The small one mentioned above and a larger
list (~200). I have watched several messages go through and BM performs
like a champ. No question the messages are getting out faster.
I also noticed the load average spiked to 1.25 during delivery. This
system has a base load of ~.25 due to various cron jobs, procmail
filtering, web server, ftp server, pop server, etc. It came right down
again after delivery.
