[spf-discuss] spfd performance

2007-01-16 09:50:16
I am running Exim (4.61) and spfd (Mail::SPF 2.003) on a fairly small Sun 
Solaris Ultra 60 server (dual 300 MHz CPUs w/2 GB memory).

Before installing SPF, the server was running under 10% CPU utilization, 
after SPF it's more like 30-35% with occasionally high peaks.  It still 
doesn't sound to bad, but I'm getting occasional timeouts from the Exim 
'readsocket' call when talking to spfd.  These usually occur in "bursts". 
I have already increased the timeout to 60s.

Are there limits on the number of simultaneous processes that spfd will 
fork?  Is there any tuning that can be done in spfd? OS (Solaris 8)? Other 
then upgrading the servers (we're working on it ;-) ), are there any other 
suggestions?

Thanks!
