Local mail delivered in 10 minute bursts

Hi All

I have two clustered servers, fairly busy with an availability of around 20-40% (and that is another question - why? With only 100 users online?) and we are finding that local mail, which in my mind should be delivered immediately, seems to be queued and then suddenly delivered in 10 minute bursts.

Any ideas why?

Regards and a very happy Xmas to everyone

When you say Local mail do you mean that the Notes client on user machines only receives mail every 10 minutes? If yes,

are you using local replication and therefore the replication schedule is set to every 10 minutes

As for availability index, there is an article that states the role of availability index is not the same as was used R5, will have to scratch around for that one.

Don’t know if this is the direction that you looking for an answer?

Hi BrandonThanks for that - by local mail I mean users on the same network and server. Normally instantaneous delivery in my mind - I think there must be a server task absorbing a huge amount of resources (maybe SMTP trying to deliver internet mail through a smallish pipe) but nothing obvious shows on the console. Maybe you can think of some other reason or a way of throttling the resources in use. A 1GB memory server running MS 2003 server and only Notes.
