Mailing List Archive: Curious...

I'm curious...

Whats the largest amount of mail traffic handled by
non-mailinglist-centric sites out there with qmail? Please provide info
on the type of system, bandwidth, etc, etc.

to get the ball rolling...here's one days traffic on one of our outgoing
mail hubs, a ss20 with 2 125mhz ROSS cpu's, 196 megs RAM, 500 megs swap
running Solaris 2.5.1 with the curent recomended patches

and the zoverall output

I've diagnosed a disk problem on the machine, so I plan on increasing this
significantly with a striped /var/qmail

Well, no one's responded, so let me try again

Lets see what kind of thruput people are getting on their qmail systems
(non-mailing list oriented mail hubs please)

This is on a dual processor Sparc20 with 196 megs of ram and 500 megs
swap. I anticipate getting more messages out by striping /var/qmail which
is quite busy now

Basic statistics

Explanation of terms: qtime is the time spent by a message in the queue.
xdelay is the latency for a delivery attempt---the time when the attempt
finished, minus the time when it started. ddelay is the latency for a
successful delivery to one recipient---the end of successful delivery,
minus the time when the message was queued.
