While I believe you are aware of this, your statement is
perhaps a bit misleading, and may be misunderstood by
Evelyn.
$qmail_home/control/concurrencyremote
The number you insert into this file determines how
many remote sockets/connections at a time your mail
server will open. For example:
echo "30" > /var/qmail/control/concurrencyremote
.. will tell Qmail that it's only allowed to open up 30
outgoing connections maximum, while delivering mail
to other machines on the internet. This serves as a
'brake', to avoid opening too many mail connections
to other hosts. Keep this number resonable though;
for example, if one of your users sends an email that's
CC'ed to 200 people @aol.com, and your mailserver has
its concurrencyremote set to >= 200, it will open up
200 connections (or however many are available up
to the maximum set here) to AOL's mailserver.
Although AOL can handle that, some mailservers are
not so... robust.
$qmail_home/control/concurrencylocal
The number you insert into this file determines how
many local/incoming mail connections you want Qmail
to allow at a time. If that number of incoming
SMTP connections is reached, Qmail will refuse additional
connections until the number is =< this number. This
functions as a 'brake' to avoid overloading your system
with incoming mail connections.
To clarify, concurrencylocal and concurrencyremote do not affect
how many times qmail tries to deliver a particular email; those
variables only affect how many connections in/out you are willing
to sustain.
