Version 8.12.0 supports parallel delivery, but no matter how I play with the parameters, I can not get more than 5 copies running at any given time. I have a few large mailing lists that I need to speed up. Here is what I was told to add to my sendmail.mc: QUEUE_GROUP(`mqueue', `P=/var/spool/mqueue, F=f, r=5, R=20, I=2m')dnl define(`confFAST_SPLIT', `20') According to the docs, this should break up the list into smaller envelopes of five addresses each (which it does) and then run up to 20 parallel copies of sendmail to deliver them. I usually get 3 to 5 copies at most. I'm certain it is not a system load issue since I've cranked up the load average parameters to fairly high values and it does not make any difference.
