I had a similar sort of morning, got the sniffer demo, and I've been watching the mailserver slowly die. My declude log for today has a lot of "external program didn't respond in an hour so skip it" messages, so I commented sniffer back out of my global.cfg. Took a while, but all the gunk in the queue flushed out and I'm back to more normal speed.
And I am running IMail 6, not 7, and Declude 1.44. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Scott Phelps Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 12:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] SortMonster Sniffer Sorry if this is off-topic, the more direct mailing list is closed to non-subscribers. My setup: Twin 1G proc. 1G RAM 20x5G 10K RPM SCSI RAID 5 for OS + programs + mailboxes (Separate Adaptec Controller) (C: D:) 20G 10K RPM Mirrored SCSI Set for spool + logging (Separate Adaptec Controller) (E:) Running: Latest Imail + hotfixes/patches Declude Virus (latest beta) Declude JunkMail (latest beta) With the recent demise of ORBZ, I decided to try out Sniffer. My results were less than pleasing :-( I first defined SNIFFER as an external test to fit into my weighting scheme: SNIFFER external nonzero "E:\sniffer\SNFDemo.exe 00000000" 15 0 It seemed to work right away, there were no errors (immediately) in the logs of Declude or Sniffer. Sniffer was checking (passing + failing) messages left and right. Declude was also processing SPAM and VIRUS messages properly (test messages were sent through and verified for each instance). After several minutes I noticed that the number of running processes had jumped a bit, and became concerned. Looking back at a refreshed copy of the logfiles for both programs (Sniffer + Declude) I saw no problems reported but an occasional timeout of a virus scanning process. This isn't normal, and I have more machine than necessary. Processes kept piling up and eventually everything slowed to a halt eventually killing SMTPD32. There were so many outstanding declude, smtp32, and SNFDemo processes that I had to restart the machine for a quick out. Is there a problem running these 3 (2.5?) products together? With no errors logged other than virus scanner timeouts, I don't have much to go on. Declude, and Sniffer were "working" properly right up until their demise as far as the logging goes. ** Is it possible Sniffer and Declude Virus were stepping on each others toes accessing the file for scanning? ���`����,��,����`��������`�������`����,��,����`��������`���� splehP ttocS rotartsinimdA smetsyS TN secivreS tenretnI renroKbeW moc.renrokbew@pttocs moc.renrokbew.www $a="@ARGV";while($a){$a=~s/(.$)//;$b=$b.$1;}print "$b\n"; ���`����,��,����`��������`�������`����,��,����`��������`���� --- [ This E-mail scanned for viruses by www.WebKorner.com ] --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
