while doing a stresstest on our mailserver we had a big problem after the first 100mails (sent in 2 seconds) due to the fact that one of two running lmtpd-processes consumed 1GB of memory, which was to much for our system and resulted in neverending swapping until I killed all related mail-processes.
I couldnt reproduce the problem and on further tests there was no similar problem. (oh yes, we had other problems - I'm not happy with our emailserver - it cannot deal with more than 3mails per second in average for one hour or so. While this is not a realistic number and we dont have a problem with our 100 mails per hour I expected it to handle a bigger load.) Nevertheless I'm worried if this happens again - even on less load. lmtpd is invoked via cyrus-master-process when deliver is called from our procmailscript. thnx, peter -- mag. peter pilsl phone: +43 676 3574035 fax : +43 676 3546512 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sms : [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp-key available
