how many users can Cyrus server support? -- is 5.5 msg/sec sl ow?

[Su Li]

Thanks Larry,

But I did "For Sendmail 8.10 - 8.12.3, use the cyrusv2.mc file as a template
to create a Sendmail configuration file."

And right now I don't see "deliver" when I do "ps -ef". Maybe I just maybe
used a wrong word.

   First of all I can get 9-10 messages per second now by move the mail
store
   to a striped hard disk(3 disk strip to one). 

   I think there are more than one sendmail deliver processes try to deliver
to
   lmtpd. Because when I increase the speed of sending, I will see the
number
   of imapd processes growing. Then I will see a lot of db error 331lockers
   ect. I know imap can not handle that speed.  

   So more deliver processes doesn't mean good performance. Actrually I am
   trying to modify the program to limit the number of processes(lmtpd and
   deliver).

You've repeatedly ignored people telling you to _stop using deliver_
and configure Sendmail to _directly use LMTP to lmtpd_. If you haven't
upgraded to Sendmail 8.12, you should do that as well.

. upgrade to Sendmail 8.12
. follow the directions in install-configure.html#mta to configure
  Sendmail to use direct LMTP delivery

If you aren't going to listen to the advice, please stop asking.
