Slow Email Delivery

[virendrasinght]

@willpower232 @adamcooke Using Postal since long time. Having configuration 8gb RAM and 4 CPU. Now after getting mail in pending state, it is taking around 3-4 minutes to process and sometime more. Earlier 6 workers are running and just now i have increased quantity and threads to 8.
Even that change, no change happened. still is going very slow.

Are you using MySQL hosted on the same server? Are you running low on available memory whilst everything is running?

[virendrasinght]

@willpower232 Yes mysql hosted on same server and not running low on available memory. My worker configuration is quantity-8 and threads - 16. Main_db pool size is 20. Don't know why it is taking so much time to process a single mail.

@willpower232 having around 100k emails in queued message table. that can be the problem of slow sending rate?

It might be, have you optimised your MySQL settings from here? #324 (comment)

@willpower232 I have increased RAM to 16 GB and changes mysql settings with max_allowed_packet = 256M, innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2.
Now watching for imporvement.

@willpower232 I have assigned 8 workers yesterday and that time all were running fine but now when i see the status out of 8, 4 workers are getting failed.
what could be the reason of this?

[willpower232]

You'll have to look in the logs folders to see what is happening. You can also run the commands from postal status manually to get real time output.

@willpower232 when I am doing postal status or postal stop it says
Error: Procodile supervisor isn't running
But my application is running fine. Don't know how it is running?

[willpower232]

That is a bit odd, might be worth restarting the server as a whole to see if that brings you back in control.

@willpower232 Yes sure. Thanks for your support
