No. That has nothing to do with it. Any UNIX system can multitask.

Was able to reduce the runtime from 30min to 6min, looks like all e-mails got sent. It checks to see how many CPUs the host has then tries to do a sendmail on each of them I imagine.

It has more to do with how much RAM your user is allowed to use, or how many simultaneous processes you're allowed to create, than how many CPU's you have. Having your script limit itself in any fashion would and did help.

Your script is probably slow for reasons other than sendmail. If you're new to shell, there may be some simple things turned inside out. Post it and we can help.

mailstats

MAILSTATS(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      MAILSTATS(8)

NAME

       mailstats - display mail statistics

SYNOPSIS

       mailstats [-c] [-o] [-p] [-P] [-C cffile] [-f stfile]

DESCRIPTION

       The mailstats utility displays the current mail statistics.

       First,  the  time  at which statistics started being kept is displayed, in the format specified by ctime(3).  Then, the statistics for each
       mailer are displayed on a single line, each with the following white space separated fields:

	      M 	  The mailer number.
	      msgsfr	  Number of messages from the mailer.
	      bytes_from  Kbytes from the mailer.
	      msgsto	  Number of messages to the mailer.
	      bytes_to	  Kbytes to the mailer.
	      msgsrej	  Number of messages rejected.
	      msgsdis	  Number of messages discarded.
	      msgsqur	  Number of messages quarantined.
	      Mailer	  The name of the mailer.

       After this display, a line totaling the values for all of the mailers is displayed (preceded with a ``T''),  separated  from  the  previous
       information by a line containing only equals (``='') characters.  Another line preceded with a ``C'' lists the number of TCP connections.

       The options are as follows:

       -C     Read the specified file instead of the default sendmail configuration file.

       -c     Try to use submit.cf instead of the default sendmail configuration file.

       -f     Read the specified statistics file instead of the statistics file specified in the sendmail configuration file.

       -P     Output information in program-readable mode without clearing statistics.

       -p     Output information in program-readable mode and clear statistics.

       -o     Don't display the name of the mailer in the output.

       The mailstats utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

FILES

       /etc/mail/sendmail.cf	The default sendmail configuration file.
       /var/lib/sendmail/statistics
				The default sendmail statistics file.
       /etc/mail/statistics	The symbolic link to the statistics file.
