Hi,

We made a mailing system on php with qmail for a disco.( on red hat 7 )
Which works fine since one year.

Then, the customer has introduce a "bad, big, non-formated" file in an
importer (we made) for the mailing list. The file was imported in mysql
database.

Then he spams the list.

And qmail try to send about 400.000 valid or non valid adresses.
Moreover the system analyses mail return to delete non-existing or
unregistered adresses.


Since it, a mail send by the server (same computer, whatever the domain), is
about 2 hours to reach the reciever.


I'm not a pro with qmail, but the problem seems to come from "queue" folder
(70Mo, with only files < 1ko )

and his subfolders:
bounce
info
intd
local
lock
mess
pid
remote
todo

I rename "bounce"->"bounce1" an create an empty folder "bounce" with the
same right.
May i make the same with other folders?

Will this situation resolve by it-self.


Thanks for suggestions.
