If your queue is large (and the concept of "large" really depends on
your hardware -- it could mean 1000 entries, or 50000), you might also
want to add one of:
-OQueueSortOrder=file
or
-OQueueSortOrder=random
to your 'sendmail -q' invocation.
The default QueueSortOrder is "priority", which means that before
processing any queued message, the queue runner needs to read each qf
file, get the priority, and then process the resulting list in priority
order.
Using 'file', the queue runner just processes them in filename order,
which is fine if you have one queue runner. If you want to run multiple
queue runners, the 'random' method is better, as the queue runners won't
be trying to process the queued files in the same order
Cheers,
Dave
