[Mimedefang] Performance Issue

[Chris Masters]

Hi All,

Another one of these - just trying to find out more
info. It's another version issue and as such I know I
should be on the latest version - this is just a
double check.

The problem:

2 servers each running slightly different versions of
sendmail and mimedefang with exactly the same hardware
& OS:

server1 - sendmail-8.13.1 and mimedefang-2.44

server2 - sendmail-8.13.0 and mimedefang-2.43

server1 is significantly slower in terms of average
time to process a mail. server1 takes several times
longer to porcess a mail!

The problem (maybe?):

Upon closer inspection the number of open file
descriptors seems to be the one significant
difference:

[root at server2 root]# lsof | wc -l
   8009
[root at server2 root]# lsof | grep sendmail | wc -l
    253
[root at server2 root]# lsof | grep mimedefang | wc -l
     52
[root at server2 root]# ps -ef | grep mimedefang | wc -l
     28
[root at server2 root]# lsof | grep mimedefang | grep
"mimedefang.sock" | wc -l
     28
[root at server2 root]#


[root at server1 mail]# lsof | wc -l
  20804
[root at server1 mail]# lsof | grep sendmail | wc -l
   1131
[root at server1 mail]# lsof | grep mimedefang | wc -l
   3072
[root at server1 mail]# ps -ef | grep mimedefang | wc -l
     57
[root at server1 mail]# lsof | grep mimedefang | grep
"mimedefang.sock" | wc -l
   2703
[root at server1 mail]#

Is this a known issue?

Is it a sendmail or mimedefang issue?

Is this fixed in 2.48?

Thanks again for any help,

Chris
