Resolving the problem
- Ensure that the smtp_address parameter points to an SMTP relay. Send email from the localhost or another system, which is capable of sending messages outside of the organization.
- Make sure that the server has the appropriate capacity to handle the load and it is not shared with other systems.
- Verify that the application server is connected to the database through a gigabit network.
- Verify that the network card is set to gigabit full duplex and not on autonegotiate.
- Verify that the average ping time between the application server and the database is less 0.25 ms.
- Check the ulimit settings to make sure that the number of open file descriptors is 8000.
- If using WebSphere® Application Server, make sure that the server is configured according to the recommendation.
