12.07.07 - Forwarding problems

my server has some problems at the moment.

for all computer scientists in here:
there are so many used sockets at the moment that the server reached its limit. so it has some problems to connect to the mail servers. another problem is the high load at the moment. the cpu usage is almost the whole time at 95% - 100%. (I run 3 big websites on this server). so during the conversation between my server and the other mail server (to deliver the mails) it takes too long to respond. so the mail servers disconnect and temporaryinbox.com can't deliver the emails. The emails aren't lost. It just takes ages to deliver. I do my best to fix this problem.

ah that explains why it takes ages to delete a forwarding even though when you press the button the page does not change or indicate that something is happening or being processed. also your post says 10:25 pm its only 10:02pm now, so something going wrong there too

I'm no expert but a common paradigm in large scale applications and connections is to make a connection pool, in this case I imagine some kind of socket pool.

Most likely, it takes time and resources to open / close sockets, so you could benefit by using some kind of pooling interface that keeps maybe 50 sockets opened at all times (always opened) and re-uses these sockets instead of creating / trashing new ones all the time.

Just a thought, maybe this doesn't apply. I'm just a dumb programmer ;-)

What state does netstat show the used-up sockets being in? It may be worthwhile to check out tuning /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_* knobs.
