[gentoo-server] Postfix and LDAP/Kerberos

[Andreas Herrmann]

Hi there,

I use on one servers postfix and mailman. If I send an email to a 
mailman list with contains mostly local users the slapd often crashes even 
if it is on a different server and the mails get bounced.

Is there any possiblity to slow down the postfix server to a level of 
about 2 outgoing/delivered mail per second to  decrease the load of the 
slapd/saslauth processes?

I straced the slapd processes and the problem probably is the handling of 
the given CPU time by the kernel. Each slapd process gives back a amount 
of CPU time because it is in the opinion  an other slapd process also 
shoudl handle some request. But it doesn't really work on heavy load. 
Having just one slapd and on saslauthd process maybe helps but I do not 
know if this scenario is possible.

Thanks for help.

Andreas
