Might be best to have the scanner part running on a separate machine to the mail server. Reduces issues with performance queries but also means internal email (between your own users) doesnt get scanned which keeps performance up<div>

<p dir="ltr">Hi,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thank you Martin.</p>
<p dir="ltr">You have pointed me to the right direction, but I would like to share why I never think in this value before:</p>
<p dir="ltr">My "Delivery Method" was in "queue", so I was mind blocked about not change this parameter. I was convinced that this value have no relationship with my "batch" behavior. <br>
Another value hat was necessary to change was not in MailScanner but <a href="http://master.cf" target="_blank">master.cf</a> in Postfix:</p>
<p dir="ltr">cleanup, flush, pickup and qmgr values was setup to "unix", but the new delivery method was unable to handle. I need to change qmgr value to "fifo" in order to get this working.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Now I have delays with less than 20 seconds, which is pretty good, but I dont know already if this will handle my users the next monday.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I will investigate which "fifo|unix" values have better performance under Postfix and a heavy imap usage under Cyrus-imapd.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thank you again.<br>

Batch is the clue word there specifically the setting is <a href="http://www.mailscanner.info/MailScanner.conf.index.html#Delivery%20Method" target="_blank">http://www.mailscanner.info/MailScanner.conf.index.html#Delivery%20Method</a><div>

Hi,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I am using a mail server solution where MailScanner is used with postfix + cyrus-imapd.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Any clue about why this combination of software spends 300 seconds (5 minutes) to process and deliver email?</p>
<p dir="ltr">This is like my server take a look in the queue and process this in a batch way, not individually.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The best time I get in this scenario is when a email is received in the queue 15 or 20 seconds before the last processing cycle of 5 minutes has been performed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sometime in the past this didn't happened but I am lost looking for a possible reason.</p>
<p dir="ltr"> Which MailScanner variables could make this effect?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thank you.</p>
