[Mailman-Users] Sendmail Performance with mailman

[Bueschel, Eric W RWBAHC DIN-PACS]

As of today, I am no longer getting failures in the smtp-error logs, however
it seems that incoming messages are parsed to mailman, then queued for 10 to
40 minutes where they just wait.  No errors, no timeouts, they just wait.
Here is a sample from the sendmail output:
 
May  3 11:34:04 listserver sendmail[12350]: g43IY4x12350: to=<
username at userdomain.com <mailto:username at userdomain.com> >, delay=00:00:00,
mailer=esmtp, pri=113834, dsn=4.4.3, stat=queued
 
Where is username is a list recipient.  I will see no other entries for
about 10 to 40 minutes, then a successful message entry for it being sent. 
 
May  3 12:08:18 listserver sendmail[12382]: g43IY4x12348: to=<
username at userdomain.com <mailto:username at userdomain.com> >, delay=00:34:14,
xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=esmtp, pri=203834, relay=mail4.quik.com.
[216.176.28.29], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (g43JAEL18784 Message accepted for
delivery)

 
 
 Now, if I use the box as a relay, or a local mail, the message is
immediately sent and delivered.  So it seems to be something related to
Mailman.

Subject: [Mailman-Users] Sendmail Performance with mailman



I have had an ongoing problem with qrunner being extremely slow, so I tried
some of the suggestions in the faq. 
I made the following changes: 

I added the followind to my sendmail startup.... 
        /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -ODeliveryMode=defer \ 
               -ODaemonPortOptions=Name=MSA,Port=1313,M=E,Addr=127.0.0.1 

I now have sendmail running on two ports, 25 and 1313.  Was this correct? 

In addition I added 
        SMTPPORT = 1313 
to my mm_cfg.py file.  

My first question is, I can find no mention anywhere in the doc where it
says I need to recompile or do something else to have mailman read the
changed in mm_cfg.py, is this correct?  Do these changes just take effect by
adding them to that file?  Next, how do I verify this is working?  I can
telnet into both ports and they respond as expected.  Unfortunately I am now
getting a lot of messages queued up by sendmail, and I am getting a lot of
entries in the mailman smtp-failure log.
