I also put the queue directory back on an ext3 partition and the rates

Also, by default the syslog messages were already set with "

change in rates.
My disk is writing about 3 MB/s which should be well within it's range.
I would hope even larger, but I would like to work out the ramfs and
test for sure.
If your test destination is a single server delivering the
mail {anywhere}, that's a good candidate for a bottleneck.
For testing, you should set up postfix smtp-sink test program
included with the postfix source. The program isn't installed
by default, but can be found in the src/smtpstone directory of
the postfix source tree.

Run the smtp-sink program on the test destination server,
listening on port 25. Don't run postfix or another mail
program on that server.
