Thanks Larry, But I did "For Sendmail 8.10 - 8.12.3, use the cyrusv2.mc file as a template to create a Sendmail configuration file."
And right now I don't see "deliver" when I do "ps -ef". Maybe I just maybe used a wrong word.

From: Su Li <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2002 17:20:11 -0400 First of all I can get 9-10 messages per second now by move the mail store to a striped hard disk(3 disk strip to one). I think there are more than one sendmail deliver processes try to deliver to lmtpd. Because when I increase the speed of sending, I will see the number of imapd processes growing. Then I will see a lot of db error 331lockers ect. I know imap can not handle that speed. So more deliver processes doesn't mean good performance. Actrually I am trying to modify the program to limit the number of processes(lmtpd and deliver). You've repeatedly ignored people telling you to _stop using deliver_ and configure Sendmail to _directly use LMTP to lmtpd_. If you haven't upgraded to Sendmail 8.12, you should do that as well. . upgrade to Sendmail 8.12 . follow the directions in install-configure.html#mta to configure Sendmail to use direct LMTP delivery If you aren't going to listen to the advice, please stop asking.
