Here's the scenario... My mail server is a 150mhz PC funning FreeBSD 4.4. Ordinarily, the machine is quite idle; it supports my wife's web site with Apache server running on it and a few other services (jabber, etc). Between the various members of our family, we get a fair amount of email coming in (mailing lists, etc). On occasion, our DSL-based ISP dies for a number of hours. When we get a reconnection to the Internet, I get a huge flow of emails coming in which are then filtered via razor. As a result, I will sometimes see over 20+ sendmail processes running at the same time after such an occasion. The machine is then REALLY slow. I noticed that my /etc/procmailrc file had had no arguments associated with the call to razor-check. There was something in the log, though, to make me suspicious that it was possibly not seeing all my razor files. So I have just added "-home /etc/razor" as an argument. I haven't had any down time since then so I cannot comment on whether this change has sped up my razor processing a noticable amount. (This paragraph may be an aside to my real problem, the first paragraph above; but I thought I should be complete in my description.) At any rate, has anyone else suffered from a backlog of email processing creating lots and lots of sendmail processes? Is there, perhaps, a way to limit the number of sendmail processes? Any ideas would be welcome.
