multithreaded environment ?

Hi,

I read through the archives, but could really find an answer.

We use opendkim for signing outgoing mails with sendmail.
Works, but is quite slow.

I read about multithreaded milter aso, but this already
seems to work with a spamassassin-milter and clamav-milter,
both have several child processes running and are really quick.
They are also running on multiple cores.

Only opendkim has only one process and slows down everything.

opendkim, libmilter and sendmail are pretty the newest
on a Fedora Core 15.

opendkim is called via
Xdkim, S=local:/var/run/opendkim/opendkim-milter.sock, F=,
T=C:10s;S:30s;R:30s

and has the following options set:
Domain example.com
InternalHosts /etc/opendkim.internal.lst
Keyfile /etc/dkim.key
Mode s
Selector dkim
Syslog yes
SyslogSuccess yes
Socket /var/run/opendkim/opendkim-milter.sock

Just wonder why there is no option to specify
the amount of workers (like there is for spamd).

Looking forward for any help and happy to answer
any questions ...


Kind regards, Frank
