upas can't do any kind of dmarc at all.

trouble amplified when we moved off of ramnode ssd-backed disk to 9cloud. we had similar problems years ago when we were on 9cloud before we moved to ramnode.

the way mail is sent, runq hammered the disk, which severely tanked performance on spinning platter disks. we tinkered with it a bit and arrived at the current situation, where sending a message to a list no longer brings the entire system to a crawl, but still exhibits the same other defects.

we ignored this problem for years by throwing an ssd at it.

not much investigation has gone into wtf is going on, but now more people have cpu access to 1ess (mail and web server), so maybe somebody feels like taking a look.
