Ever since we implement the hijack features of the suite we have caught
these kinds of infections.  Any one of our clients sending more than x
amount of e-mails has them trapped for our review.  This has saved us 5
times in the last year

 

Thank you

Serge,

 

We had a similar situation happen about a week ago.  For us, it turned out
that one of our clients was infected with a virus/spyware/malware and was
sending hundreds of thousands of spam messages.  We had WHITELIST AUTH in
the global.cfg.  Once he authenticated, he was whitelisted.  The system just
could not keep up with the load.

 

Once we figured out what was happening it took us a while to identify which
account it was.  I found that with LOGLEVEL MID, there is a line in the
DECmmdd.LOG file that has the text "[Authenticated:<email address>]".  By
searching the file and finding an unusually large volume of them from one
user showed me which account to disable.

 

Hope this helps,

Don

Serge,

Are you getting a lot of invalids?  In other words maybe too much traffic
for some reason. Also are you scanning for virii after junkmail runs?

my cpus were not able to handle the traffic, as simple as that

Serge, have you checked to make sure you not having DNS issues. DNS causes
80% of the issues with delays.

Importance: High

 


For about a week my server (2xP3xeon 2.8GHz) was beiing saturated by an
increase of traffic
100% CPU for hours and ten of thousands of messages in \proc
the servers was working fine for several years
something had to be done, decided to clean global.cfg, and need help
optimizing

 

AVafterJM was on
Cleaned global.cfg
left only Sniffer, Zerohour, some builtin tests, and a couple of filters

 

the server is now stable, but i need some answers to decide what to do next

 

1- loglevel and logOK have any effects on CPU ?
2- Any DNS tests that are realy important ? (for now, I removed all)
3- Any of the following external tests / Filters are important, or are they
outdated  ?

 

TIA
