I'm really at a loss, suggestions most welcome...
I'm working with a Sparc 20 with 2 cpus and 256Mb of memory.
The loadavg never seems particularly high. The ISP that it's
connected to claims to have lots of bandwidth and never more
than about 40% saturation. I'm running Solaris 7, sendmail
8.8.8, majordomo 1.94.5, and bulk_mailer on it. I installed a
caching only DNS server.
It's running about 20 or so lists, a couple with roughly 2,000
users and fair volume. And it just cannot keep up.
Given that the machine isn't working very hard, I'm inclined to
think that it's a sendmail or other configuration
problem. Installing bulk_mailer and a caching DNS server got the
turnaround time down from half a day to half an hour, but there
are lots of lists out there doing better than that. And the queue
has already grown to more than 1000 messages...
Help!?
Be seeing you,
norm
