I'm setting up a new server with vpopmail 5.4.4 (should be the latest stable?), and everything was working as it should until I got to the point of load testing. I added 10,000 accounts (not quite as many as I have on the production server, which runs vpopmail 5.2.1) to test.com on the server with this script:
#!/bin/bash # Script to create some email accounts on the test server @test.com for i in `seq 1 10000`; do /usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vadduser -n [EMAIL PROTECTED] done which completes in fairly short order (took about 2 minutes) with no errors. Looking at the domain in vqadmin and through mysql directly show all the users, and everything looks fine. However, when I then send a mail to any user (doesn't matter which) qmail-local kicks off the delivery process and it takes a LONG time and there is LOTS of disk access. By using the lsof command i was able to see what files vdelivermail had open, and it was pretty clear that it was traversing EVERY maildir on the domain (only one domain right now - I don't know if it would traverse other domains as well) before delivering the mail to the correct Maildir (which it will do eventually). While not documented as "not right", it clearly isn't supposed to do that (as it would take forever for the server to get anything done). Is this a known issue? Possibly my compile-time options for vpopmail? Did I do something wrong, or is this a bug? Any comments/suggestions are welcome. -- - Nick Bright Terraworld, Inc http://home.terraworld.net | 888-332-1616
