Configuring - DelayLA

[Silambarasan Madhappan]

In sendmail.cf i have configured "O DelayLA=1" and am trying to reproduce the below message in sendmail log file

"delaying connections on daemon MTA: load average=3 >= 1"

Input:
====
cat >input <<-EOF
EHLO localhost
MAIL FROM: root
RCPT TO: root
DATA
jhdfh
.
QUIT
EOF

sendmail -bs <input

but i dint get the log "delaying connections on daemon MTA: load average=3 >= 1" in sendmail log file.

Could you pls help me on how to reproduce the log message . Do i need to configure any other thing.

Thanks.

Well, does the load average of the server exceed 1 ?

Start some resource hungry computation in the background. Run "top" to see the loadavg.

Please read the fine RFCs and fix the syntax, e.g.,

MAIL FROM:<ro...@YOUR.DOMAIN>
RCPT TO:<ro...@YOUR.DOMAIN>
