Suresh,
Yep I've done the tinydb it removed thousands upon thousands of entires in
the db files but yet they are the same size still.
We are using split_spool_directory also. Im doing strace's on the -q5h
or -q15m processes and they seem to be just sitting there
one has (/usr/sbin/sendmail -q15m process)
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {830, 890000}
the other (/usr/local/exim/bin/exim -q)
read(4,
They look like this:
2464 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/sendmail -q15m
2465 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/local/exim/bin/exim -q
