Title: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude using 50% cpu

I am very sorry but I have to ask, how did you get win2k to run on 512K of ram.  :)   On the serious side though, I really think there is an underlying problem here.  Our mail server is a p4 1.6 with 1Gig of ram, with scsi hdds(Raid 5 with only 1 partition :( no I did not do the setup with only 1 partition it was given to me like that, it works, though it is a pita to defrag) and I really can not remember it EVER going over 20% utilization during regular business hours, though we only do 14,000 local deliveries and 4000 sends on an average day.  We run declude antispam and IpSwitch's Antivirus(again not my idea I was pushing for Declude for the antivirus).   Could it be a hdd speed issue/partition problem/fragment problem?  Possibly a NIC problem, since Imail seems picky about the type of NIC that is used.     Nathan Fouarge Amberwave Communications 114 N Dodge Algona, IA 50511 515-295-6900 x33 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Gordon Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 3:25 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' win2k sp3 dual 933  512K ram but memory was never a problem, its a dedicated mail server nothing else -----Original Message----- From: Jason Newland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 4:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude using 50% cpu Also, can we ask what hardware / OS this is running on?     Jason   ----- Original Message ----- From: John Tolmachoff (Lists) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 3:03 PM Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude using 50% cpu Where is your DNS server you are using in Imail?   John Tolmachoff MCSE CSSA Engineer/Consultant eServices For You www.eservicesforyou.com   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Mark Gordon Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 12:51 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude using 50% cpu   On a good day we rev 19000 local deliveries + send 8000 per day. It hits the machine hard average cpu time before was around 44% then when declude was installed it jumped to over 90% average. The version is 1.75 -----Original Message----- From: R.

How many E-mails do you send/receive per day? What version of Declude are you running (you can find out by typing "\IMail\Declude -diag" from a command prompt)? Are you sure that it is Declude using the extra CPU cycles (by sorting the processes in the Task Manager by the "CPU" column)?                                                     -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
