Hello *, I recently uninstalled exim on my home pc, replacing it with esmtp for outbound mail and fetchmail->procmail for inbound traffic. Procmail checks every message for spam and viruses, introducing some seconds of latency, mainly because of DNSRBL checks of spamc. The disadvantage of this is that fetchmail launches only one procmail for each message and waits for it termination. This leads to a very long delay when downloading many messages. I can parallely check more than one message with spamd (making it create more childs) but I cannot find a configuration that will speed up with more spamd-child. The bottleneck is always fetchmail that process every message one by one. Have you got any ideas about how to insert a queue in the chain? I can replace procmail with maildrop or similar if necessary. Please avoid solutions like "re-install exim" or "install <insert your favourite mta here>". Please CC me, I'm not in the list. Thank you. Best regards, -- Daniele JID: dan@jabber.linux.it (http://www.jabber.org) and remember: respect is everything . . . . . . . . . . . free your mind
