I'm moving on up!

Been a while since I've posted. Basically I've been optimizing the code. I've replaced several write() calls with writev, trying to minimize system calls as much as possible. I'm now starting on better RFC conformance. For example I must accept postmaster without a domain for a recipient. Also been thinking of how to get managment to let me opensource the code.

I signed up to a bunch of yahoo lists to see how the MTA is. So far no memory leaks. I've had a few timeouts, so I now change the process title for each SMTP phase, much like sendmail does. I also had 60k messages sent to it, and it handled them in under an hour (~16/sec) with 50 children. Thing is most of the children were idle. 4 machines running sendmail fed it. I was expecting the machine to be overloaded, but it didn't even burp. The test machine is an old ibm pentium II 350MHz with 256MB ram.
