IIRC, you posted this method seom time ago- checking how many procmail/spamc/spamd (don't remember which) processes were "active" and deciding whether to attempt delivery or not. I found that even this wasn't lightweight enough on the filter server I'm adminning, so I wrote a microprogram to use the load average instead. Ideally, this should be hacked into sendmail itself in some way; I'm not going there myself. I *might* poke it into procmail if I get inspired some day. Snag it at ftp://ftp.deepnet.cx/devel/loadavg. It can be called like so: :0 * ? loadavg 2.5 { EXITCODE=75 :0 /dev/null } Similar to your solution, but probably faster and lighter. <g> Since I don't know what type of system it might be run on, I decided to make the load average an option, rather than hardwired. 2.5 seems to work well on the PII/450/512M box doing filtering right now, under ~60K messages (~850M) per week. Mail occasionally queues up, but the box doesn't grind to a halt and mail gets delivered within ~20 minutes or so (1 queue run). Things still get a little soggy if more than one person is logged into the webmail system though. :P -kgd -- <erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by OSDN developer relations Here's your chance to show off your extensive product knowledge We want to know what you know.
