The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David J <address@concealed>]

Hi,

I am also having the same problem. I setup sympa-3.2.1 last week, and added 
a list of 127,000 people into the mysql database. over the weekend the load 
shot up, and mem usage is even consuming all the swap.

  1:10pm  up 18 days,  2:00,  2 users,  load average: 0.62, 0.44, 0.43
62 processes: 60 sleeping, 2 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states:  0.1% user,  1.5% system,  0.0% nice, 98.2% idle
Mem:   257536K av,  233980K used,   23556K free,   26000K shrd,   15304K buff
Swap:  136544K av,  135596K used,     948K free                   32424K 
cached

  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT  LIB %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
18961 sympa      0   0  159M  61M   852 S       0  0.0 24.3  49:24 bounced.pl

The output above is a TOP after I have deleted the file in the 
/spool/bounce folder. Inside was only one file, with one email inside it. 
It had removed this email address from the database, but not removed the 
bounce file, and inside the wws admin page, when i go to the the Bounce 
messages screen, it says "no page 1"

Any help would great ! We are testing out new mailing list software because 
mailman isnt performing well, Sympa looks get so far but I am a little 
worried about this bounce.pl program.

We have not even ran a mail out yet, and when I subscribed everyone I just 
the pl file supplied to import direct into the database, so I am not even 
sure why this person got an email.

Regards,

David Casamento

Hi,

My maling list got 30,000 subscriber, after I send newsletter to the list. I
found that bounced.pl use a lot of system resource (99.2% CPU, 199M RAM)! Is
it normal?

I have using Redhat 7.1 / 1.4G P4 CPU
