=head1 Better Performance =head1 Better Performance
As of version 0.21 qpsmtpd supports "PPerl" For better performance we recommend using "qpsmtpd-forkserver" or
http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=PPerl running qpsmtpd under Apache 2.x. If you need extremely high
concurrency and all your plugins are compatible, you might want to try
"PPerl turns ordinary perl scripts into long running daemons, making the "qpsmtpd-async" model.
subsequent executions extremely fast. It forks several processes for
each script, allowing many processes to call the script at once."
Running under PPerl is easy - just change your "run" file to contain
the following command:
pperl -Tw -- --prefork=$MAXCLIENTS --maxclients=$MAXCLIENTS \
--no-cleanup ./qpsmtpd 2>&1
As an alternative to PPerl (some users find PPerl unstable) we recommend using
the forkserver. This forks for every connection, but pre-loads all the plugins
to reduce the overhead.
