QUEUESEGSIZE
Amount to grow queue work list Tune, edit sendmail/conf.h
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 page
1050) 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
(The Syntax of -d on page
530).
