Hi All,
We are using 3.36 on a large mail server and are trying to reduce some
bottlenecks on our system. I've noticed our retry and wait-remote_smtp files
are quiet large. Both around above the 60mb + mark. Can these be optimized
some other way? Change of lookup type or indexed? We are using mysql lookups
for the user auth if this helps also. Any ways to reduce our bottlenecks
would be great. We are running exim as
/usr/local/exim/bin/exim -bd (for smtp daemon)
and
/usr/local/exim/bin/exim -q5h (for mail queue runner)
as seperate processes, this seems to have sped it up a little, but an strace
on the queue and we see lots of delays, and file locking checks for
/var/spool/mail/db/

Any help would be great, Thanks
