Pat,
I'm not seeing any evidence that postfix is batching up the local
deliveries through a single lmtp instance... I've made some changed
recommended by others using postfix, but still don't see evidence of this
happening... Not sure if its my postfix config or my cyrus config that's
causing this...
I've been watching things closely for a couple weeks here, and I'm sure
that amavis/AVP (the virus scanner) is using the majority of the
resources... Unfortunately virus scanning every email in and out is
somewhat expensive. I've modified it so as to use the
AVPDaemon/AVPDaemonClient process which improved things tremendously. But
given the proliferation of viruses in our user community, I don't dare turn
off that! This thing catches several hundred virii each day!
I do have duplicate delivery suppression turned on, and I have the Berkeley
DB3 package installed so I thought it was using that... Not certain how to
verify it... Hmm, checked with 'file' and my deliver-?.db's seem to be
"Berkeley DB 2.X Hash/Little Endian"....
Last night I converted everything over to a fully hashed directory
structure, because before everything seemed to be hashed except for the
default partition where the mail is actually stored. That should take care
of linux's issues with large directories.
Thanks!
Andy
