  1. Multiple Queue Support by EraseMe · · Score: 4

    I found this to be interesting:

    Support multiple queue directories. To use multiple queues, supply a QueueDirectory option value ending with an asterisk. For example, /var/spool/mqueue/q* will use all of the directories or symbolic links to directories beginning with 'q' in /var/spool/mqueue as queue directories. Keep in mind, the queue directory structure should not be changed while sendmail is running. Queue runs create a separate process for running each queue unless the verbose flag is given on a non-daemon queue run. New items are randomly assigned to a queue. Contributed by Exactis.com, Inc.

    This could be great for my Solaris box with 50,000+ active SMTP connections, as we may be able to segregate the mail queue onto seperate partitions! :)

    For lots of really good information on Sendmail 8.10 checkout Sendmail.net

    They have a series of articles such as Spam control in 8.10, Performance and usability in 8.10 and many more.
