Yes. > I'm using DKIM-milter. During the testing, the CPU nevers goes over 3-4% 3-4% of how many CPUs? dkim-milter is one program that you are asking to sign lots of messages in parallel. To implement parallelism, dkim-milter uses mutiple threads in one process. To keep the threads from tripping over each other, dkim-milter uses locks. With a bit of bad luck, your DKIM requests are blocking each other. Wietse
