Howdy,
First, thank you all for such a fantastic piece of software.
I've recently been exploring using async for our production mail servers.
Why? Are you having issues with the other modes of operation?
Yes, there are too many concurrent connections coming into our mail
server for the forkserver to handle given the iron it runs on, and we're
periodically bouncing mail.
Async (at this point) is best suited to systems with very high
performance and concurrency requirements. If your system can run
without using async, the other modes are simpler to implement and better
tested.
True, and thanks for the feedback. Async is also cool! [grin] (Yes,
I'm that guy who also runs Apache2 with the experimental event MPM).
I think a modern IO event loop will help me, even if the first thing it
shows me is that I need to optimize my plugins [grin].
Thanks,
