Number of Receipient Per mail - Huge mail getting struck

[anto_davidraj]

Hai,

I have one group with 400+ recipients, combined with some small groups. If i sed the mail to that group Local Delivery service is stopped automatically. All other mails are working fine. Is that Scalix having any receipient limit by default.

Thanks

Antu,

that # of recipients should not be a huge issue.

I would suggest checking that you have more than one local delivery process (omstat -s -p). You should see a figure >1 next to local delivery.

Also, ensure you have seperate mount points/disk for ~data, ~tmp and ~user*, as all of these are very disk intensive.

Also i don't have seperate mount point for data, sys , tmp. Here this is my mount info

mount
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol00 on /var/opt/scalix type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)

and one more info: those group mail address are internal users only. Is that any way to fix the problem.

Thanks

Anto,

stop local deliver (omoff -d 0 -s ld), and add aux processes, that should help.

omsetsvc -x local 2

that will create 3 local delivery processes.
You may wish to do that on other services if queues build up on them.
There is a balance though. If you increase these values too high, it could have a bad affect on others (although I have never seen that as an issue).

Then restart local delivery (omon -s ld)

I made changes, it won't fix. still Local Delivery is stopped when we send to huge.

Thanks

[mikethebike]

Anto,

is there anything in the fatal log at the time local delivery stops?
Isthere anything in the event log (omshowlog -p 10 -s local -l 11).
The "-p 10" assmes the problem occured within the last 10 minutes.

Thanks,

Mick

Yes, I received the error

ERROR Local Delivery(Local Delivery) 10.03.07 08:21:49
[OM 24520] The PDL contains no members, hence expansion will not occur.
Last Msg Id: B0CBF0DF58457643BDD

Yes, I receive this problem whenever we send the mails to Public Distribution List (PDL).
If i check with omshowpdl -l all , it showing all PDL.

[anto_davidraj]

Thank you Mike, you are the man .....

Finally i got it, I found one empty PDL which contain no members. I remove the PDL, immediatly it fixed.

Thank You so Much ....

How do you reset it back to default once you have done this?

[mikethebike]

TRACKS,

if you want to set it back to one process (as an example the service router):
omoff -d 0 -s rtr
omsetsvc -x rtr 0
omon -s rtr
omstat -s -p
