So I try to :
- put /var/spool/exim4 on a different partition, with noatime option
- put /var/spool/exim4/db in memory (/dev/shm)
- set "message_logs = false"
- set "split_spool_directory = true"
It didn't change anything, exim send about 280 / 300 emails per minute.
But, I think I found where is the problem : TLS
http://wiki.debian.org/PkgExim4KnownBugsInSarge
I haven't got enough entropy on my servers, and "/dev/random" is "blocking".
I try to replace /dev/random by /dev/urandom, and it seems to be really
really
faster (but I haven't got any stats, since I found this too late).
Now, I'll search to a "true" solution :
- I want to keep "/dev/random" for security purpose
- really don't want to use a compiled version
I prefer to not use "backports", but if I don't found any other
solutions, I'll do.
Thanks all !
