Sorted by CPU the system process is first and second is a toss up between declude, smtpd32, and queuemgr followed by as many as 16 simultaneous instances of declude with cpu between 1 and 4. The system is running at 45 to 60 and at times Declude shows up first between 45 and 60. When I change the delivery application to smtp32.exe the system process drops between 8 to 11 and finally the top of the list is the system idle process.
No knew filters have been added. In the global.cfg file there was a whitelisted address and a whitelisted domain. For the whitelisted domain I created a folder in the imail\delcude Folder for that domain with a blank $default$.junkmail. For the one whitelisted address a I created a folder for that domain in the imail\declude folder with the $default$.junkmail "copy not blank" and created a blank user.junkmail file for that user. These changes have been reversed and still have not solved the issue. Does creating a domain folder with a blank $default$.junkamil file, as compared to whitelisting a domain in the global.cfg, use more processing power?

When you go to the Process tab in the Task Manager, and click on the CPU button, which process(es) are nearest to the top? Note that this should not be related to the SPAMHEADERS issue. Did you make any changes to the Declude configuration recently (such as adding filters, which can eat up CPU time, depending on what they do and how they are designed)? >I don't want to go through and comment out each test one at a time to find >which the offender is. If it does come to that, you can do it the "binary way." First, comment out 1/2 the tests. If the problem continues, uncomment the ones you just commented out, and comment out 1/2 of the ones that you did not comment out (if the problem does not continue, do the opposite -- uncomment 1/2 of the ones that you commented out originally). If you have 30 tests, you'll only have to do this 5 times. The drawback is that during the few minutes you are doing this, spam is more likely to come through. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
