Hello all. I am trying to help out a client that is having some weird
issues involving Solaris, FreeBSD, Sendmail, and the Javamail API.
The short story is that there is a Sun machine rendering emails and
sending them (using Javamail) to a mail relay. The relay that we'd like to
use is a super-fast FreeBSD machine. However, tests have shown that it
performs slowly... in fact, if we point the Javamail code at a much slower
Sun machine, the mail actually goes out much faster, which is shouldn't.
We're talking about a serious hardware gap here.
Now, I wrote a simple perl script that does pretty much the same thing as
what Javamail does, and the results are what we'd expect -- the faster box
accepts the mails as fast as they can be rendered.
This seems to make it seem like a possible bug in the API, as when it's
not used the problem goes away. But, of course, they want to use the API
and they want me to make it work.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any suggestions? The code guys
are going to try profiling the code. I'm not seeing anything unusual with
the network. It just seems, well, slow using the API.
TIA,
-tcannon
