"Jonathan M. Bresler" stands accused of writing in message ID <Pine.3.89.9510232246.E7857-0100000@kryten.atinc.com>: >over the last two day and a half days we have AVERAGED 3.31 kBytes of >mail per SECOND. outbound ONLY. What isn't so impressive is those same figures only translate into 1.601 messages/second. Which means that each message has an average size of 2.07k. (call me picky, but I'd start cheering at 2-3 mails/second - 1.6 doesn't sound all that impressive, despite the fact that it probably is) >mind now that the queue is a little backed up with 2000+ messages. >half of those are due to 2 sites which are having difficulties....grrrrr! Urk. And I bet one of them is *.demon.co.uk? Apart from changing their routing setup (and running into problems with the version of gated they use, causing nasty routing failures over the past few days), their mail hosts are severly overloaded (MMDF can't cope anymore). It's annoying for me as I am now regularly getting mail from machines at cdrom.com, and also (being on the root/postmaster alias) getting the 4 hour can't send warning also. Sigh >i thnk we need to got to 64bit counters in the networking code....the >data is moving so fast that its gone negative. Part of the problem possibly is that the counters (or most of them anyhow) are (AFAIR) unsigned, but I seem to remember netstat prints (some of) them as signed... Gary
