Sorry to bother you hackers again, but two submissions to -questions
got no response so it looks like another scaleability issue on you
people can handle :
================
On a very busy postfix relay hub, we're seeing this:
Feb 19 15:00:16 imgate2 postfix/smtpd[323]: fatal: socket: No buffer
space available
Feb 19 15:00:17 imgate2 postfix/smtp[684]: fatal: socket: No buffer
space available
Can we fix this with a systcl write?
The server already has:
# sysctl -a | grep maxfile
kern.maxfiles: 16384
kern.maxfilesperproc: 16384
... which fixed "fatal: too many files open" pb for this client last
November.
btw, Wietse Venema himself asked me to be informed of how I manage to
tweak FreeBSD to handle this apparent scaleability issue.
"sysctl -a"
gives:
