Tell me for what is respawnlo good, please ?
Because it seems it occures every hour. And this is that thing which
stops message delivery!!!
I doubt it. Respawnlo is the minimum automatic restart
interval. Periodically, Courier restart itself. This is one of the
factor in choosing when to go through a restart cycle.
I've created file respawnlo with one line: 12h it should handle it.
But:
Problem is we are using 64kb/s wireless connection and this file size is
around 10MB
and I think that delivery can take longer than one hour !
Ah -- see, that's the problem. If your bandwidth is 64K, you really have
no business receiving multimegabyte files. submit allows for a maximum of
20 minutes to receive an E-mail message. You are seeing the zombie
process because the 20 minute suicide watchdog timer goes off. I can see
how this might result in some files not being cleaned up -- I'll make sure
that it gets fixed.
Can I change watchdog timer or I have to only set sizelimit to let's say
5MB?
But your real problem is that you simply do not have sufficient resources
to handle multimegabyte e-mail messages, with your bandwidth.
I doesn't matter about bandwidth because of it can be delivered durring
night or
it can take more time.
Thanks.
