Also, please don't start a new thread by responding to a message in an unrelated thread. You don't provide nearly enough information to tell why your system is underperforming. It could be a tuning issue, or your system may simply have not enough RAM or (more likely) not enough I/O bandwidth. I recommend that you contact the postfix-users mailing list. The people there give good Postfix tuning advice. The list is closed so you'll have to subscribe before you can post. http://www.postfix.org/lists.html When you post there, you should describe your hardware, including CPU speed, how much RAM you have, and the number, type and layout of your disks. If you've made any significant changes to the default Postfix config, describe them; if you haven't, tell the list that you haven't.
