qmail outlook latecy

[eztee]

I'm running Qmail on RedHat, but my users have reported Outlook is taking longer than usual to connect and send mail. I just switched them over from a Sendmail server to Qmail. I came across another post on the web from a user having the same problem. The suggested solution was to make sure tcpserver was being called with -R option in the qmail-smtpd
startup script. Unfortunately, I can't find this script and do not know what its filename on Redhat might be. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Here's the post I found:

I had a client with a new product. They sent out notification e-mail with pdf attachment to @ 1,500 names from ACT database using:

Outlook - Exchange - qmail

qmail is acting as a smart host, allowing connections outbound from exchange. Client has Verison DSL service in office (where exchange server is) and although static, the range is outlawed on some DNS block lists so that is why we forward out. But that is another story....

Anyway,

This e-mail took forever to send out all copies. Over 10 hours. I never went back to figure out why as this is not a common scenerio.

It seemed like the exchange server was sending each mail individually, and only 3 processes were running max?

So no answer, but similar issue.

Thanks for the link though.
