Hmm, interesting. I sent this to your list 5 days ago, it seems you guys are having problems with mailman performance as well. BTW, here's the header from the one I sent, not that I sent it on May 02 and it made it onto the list on May 07.

I have had an ongoing problem with qrunner being extremely slow, so I tried some of the suggestions in the faq. I made the following changes:

I added the followind to my sendmail startup.... /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -ODeliveryMode=defer \ -ODaemonPortOptions=Name=MSA,Port=1313,M=E,Addr=127.0.0.1

I now have sendmail running on two ports, 25 and 1313. Was this correct?

In addition I added SMTPPORT = 1313 to my mm_cfg.py file.

My first question is, I can find no mention anywhere in the doc where it says I need to recompile or do something else to have mailman read the changed in mm_cfg.py, is this correct? Do these changes just take effect by adding them to that file? Next, how do I verify this is working? I can telnet into both ports and they respond as expected. Unfortunately I am now getting a lot of messages queued up by sendmail, and I am getting a lot of entries in the mailman smtp-failure log.
