How many mail message are in your queue?: # mailq | head One thing I do is decrease the retry timeout for all returned mail: O Timeout.queuereturn=5d -> 2d #O Timeout.queuereturn.normal=5d -> 2d #O Timeout.queuereturn.urgent=2d -> 1d #O Timeout.queuereturn.non-urgent=7d -> 2d A lot of spam mail tries to bounce back and just gets denied - so why keep it in the queue for 5 days? I think 2 is more reasonable nowadays - maybe even less, 12h? Anyway, my mailq has really decreased and sendmail isn't having to work as hard. -eric wood -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
