Hello,
the qmail-send page says that sending it an ALRM makes it re-scan the
queue. Well, somebody demanded that his qmail-send gets ALRMed every
15 minutes to minimize mail delivery time. BUT: He has a slow link
and queued some 20+ megs of mail at once, in pieces around 3-7 meg each.
His mail got NOT delivered for over a day while the link was constantly
glowing. When I stopped that cron job the mail was out in about an
hour. The exact command this cronjob executes is
/usr/local/bin/svc -a /var/qmail/run/qmail
So what gives? Did I assume correctly that sending the ALRM interrupted
the ongoing transfers and restarted them? The log file mentions
"SMTP connection died" several times... If so, how do I have the
queue run every 15 minutes w/o disturbing the deliveries already
in progress? This is qmail-1.03 with daemontools-0.53 and
ucspi-tcp-0.84.
"Stay tuned for more tuning questions" :-|
Thank you!
Regards,
Toni.
