Far as I know there is a > big-to do patch on qmail's homesite....not sure if that will help but Definately go for the big-todo patch -- depending on the size of your average queue, you will see a very considerable performance gain. The problem you're seeing is because of the large number of files per directory in /var/qmail/queue/todo. Changing conf-split to be ~500, alongside the big-todo patch will yield far better performance. ~Gary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
