Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Spool and overflow building

[Glenn \\ WCNet]

This happened to me several times, possibly caused by spam storms.  I know two lesser instances were when particular user accounts were targeted.  Once by a spammer, and another time by a runaway auto-responder programmed on a web site.  Anyway, I pretty much solved the problem my increasing maximum SMTP processes to 100.  Based on JunkMail logs, an average of 250,000 messages come through per day.  My current server is a 3 Ghz dual-processor with 1 GB of RAM.   G.Z. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lenny Bauman To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 8:31 AM Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Spool and overflow building DNS is working   The mail in the spool is both local and remote mail.   I can not find any reason why the spool is building    Today is up to over 100,000 messages in each directory.
