QUEUESEGSIZE
Synopsis
During a queue run,
sendmail holds information in memory about all
the files being processed. It does this so that it can sort them by
priority for delivery. Beginning with V8.7
sendmail, there is no limit (other than
consuming all memory, or setting the
MaxQueueRunSize option, MaxQueueRunSize) on how many queued messages can be processed
during any queue run. Prior to V8.7, that number was fixed by the
constant QUEUESIZE. QUEUESIZE has been retired and replaced with
QUEUESEGSIZE, which is defined in
sendmail/conf.h as:
# define QUEUESEGSIZE 1000 /* increment for queue size */
It should be changed only if your queue continually contains a huge number of messages. If you notice many messages such as this being logged:
grew WorkList for...
you might need to modify QUEUESEGSIZE. Doing so requires that you edit sendmail/conf.h and recompile.
QUEUESEGSIZE can be traced with the -d41 debugging
switch (-d41.1).
