Aihe: Re: [exim] What's the diffference between deliver_queue_load_max and queue_run_max?
Thanks!
I find more detail about loadavg here:
http://www.loadavg.com/2012/01/procloadavg/

I think deliver_queue_load_max here mean the first number:
root@mail:/etc/exim4/conf.d/main# cat /proc/loadavg
2620.41 1627.96 962.37 1504/13290 4940
root@mail:/etc/exim4/conf.d/main# cat /proc/loadavg
2620.41 1627.96 962.37 247/13354 5200
