Email Delay

[teknovision]

Hi there,

Haing quite long delays on emails being received, even when sending them from hosted account to another hosted account there seems to be about 1hr delay.

I did a qmail-qstat and it tells me:

./qmail-qstat
messages in queue: 4045
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0

Which I think is reasonable is it not? Server itself is not running higher than %1, can't really figure out what is causing delay of these messages, it used to be 5 seconds. Any ideas would be very much appreciated!!

Many thanks,

Hello,

try to rise concurrencylocal and concurrencylocal in /var/qmail/control

If the files are not created then create them. Put in there 50 for both. Watch the maillog if it is sufficient . Also you can give a kill -14 qmail_pid . PLay a bit with this. But be aware that it could bring the server down.

thanks blank. I'm assuming you mean; concurrencylocal and concurrencyremote. Sorry for the questions, a bit of a newbie here:

Do I then just create file and just put 50 in the first line and nothing else? Also, what rights should I give the files? Do I need to restart anything for it to take effect?

Many thanks for your help!!

Note that I had some terrific delay linked to a maps server not resolving...
Also, look here: "30 second email delay with Plesk "

Hello,

Yes, just a number in the first line.
