<DIV><SPAN class=072505206-16112006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just installed a
couple days ago MailWatch for my MailScanner box.. great
tool.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=072505206-16112006><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, I've
noticed now that I can see the # of children MailScanner has running that it
seems to be ignoring my Max Children setting.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=072505206-16112006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have Max Children
set to "5", but recently we were doing a large mailing (we house a few mailing
lists) and I noticed that it said there were 20+ SendMail procs and 11
MailScanner children.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=072505206-16112006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've read here in
the past that too many children will slow a box down if it doesn't have the
memory and CPU to handle it, which I think is exactly the case going on with
me. We were sending out a large mailing today and it is taking an
extraordinary amount of time (going on 14 hours of trying to send out a total of
25,000 emails).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=072505206-16112006><FONT face=Arial size=2>We do run grey
listing, but our IP is white listed for the milter-greylist and in the white
list within MailScanner, so I'm not sure what is causing the deep delays or the
extra children showing from MailScanner.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=072505206-16112006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas as to what
might be happening or what I could look for?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=072505206-16112006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I searched back
through the threads and saw on related to single versus queued sending with
SendMail.. perhaps something relating to that?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
