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

[Colbeck, Andrew]

Title: Message

Mark, you might check if your C:\IMail\Spool\Overflow contains may Q*.SMD files, which will tell you whether you have a mail processing backlog.   A busy server is one thing, and a burdened server is another.   You can read:   http://www.declude.com/dq.htm   for the how and why of this overflow folder.  Also, you can run Performance Monitor and check the System object, processor queue length.  The suggestion is that a consistent value of more than 10 is a significant CPU bottleneck.  Heck, just running administrative type applications on the desktop will probably tell you that!   Andrew.    -----Original Message----- From: Mark Gordon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 1:08 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude using 50% cpu This server is slammed during buisness hours but it was making due with dual 933, declude just kills it. What portion of custom filters vs rdns checks should I look at to reduce this processing strain? -----Original Message----- From: John Tolmachoff (Lists) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 4:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude using 50% cpu BTW, with an average CPU usage of 44% before Declude, you may be reaching the saturation point of the server. Not critical, but from my understanding if average CPU usage is at 50%, you need to start looking at things.   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.
