Topic: very /slow/ sending of email on v6 versus v 5.6

[patrickthickey]

The machine is a P3 1gHz, 512mb RAM.

Local sending of email takes longer than it should, with the Compose window and the status box persisting far more than it did on 5.6.

Via a VPN tunnel, the same process is brutally slow as it "appears" the compose window persists until the full SMTP connection is completed. This is a guess.

Previously, on 5.6, sending mail locally would result in the Compose window leaving immediately.

* any thoughts that this is a cosmetic issue, and instead of hiding the process from the user view it just leave the compose window sitting there?

* which piece would be the likely piece to upgrade (after viewing the initial proposed 6.01 rpms), mailfront or dovecot?   Neither? Both?

The perception is this makes the mail server appear slow and unresponsive when in fact, is is not.

Thanks in advance.

patrick

I had a similar problem.. and found that when upgrading to 6.0 the number of concurrent connections allowed with the IMAP server was wrong see:-

concurrent users bug....

I saw the thread, thanks anyhow.

I'm pretty sure there is some oversight pertaining to how long the compose window is left to languish on the screen while the actual end-to-end mail delivery occurs.

Hi.

Sounds like reverse DNS is broken in SME 6.0 in some configurations compared with 5.6

See http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=20217.0 for more details on what I've found so far.

Thanks for the link - you have identified the issue.

Borken reverse DNS, as you identified it, is a seriously hoarked issue.

Oh well. Life post SME and forums actually read by people who were paid to help. Maybe we will hear this issue is fixed in the next revision of the freebie release?

regards,
