What about the size of the log files before and after.  It would be helpful to post both the IMail and JunkMail log file sizes as this will give an idea about the volume.  I'm not sure that the SMTP deliveries number reflects spam and viruses that Declude blocks.

Another thing that would be helpful to know is what external tests you have configured in Declude (Sniffer, etc.).

Note that it is expected that having Declude enabled will dramatically increase your CPU utilization.  In short you are adding one or more virus scanners to the mix and also a ton of DNS lookups and other filters.  Having CPU utilization increase without a change in volume (not yet ruled out) or the filters used however points to there being something wrong, but most likely not something wrong with Declude itself.

Have you added a lot of filters?  These tend to run up the CPU.  Are you 
currently experiencing a dictionary attack?  Are you still seeing a normal 
mail pattern?

I have not upgraded to fix the 2005 spamheaders test as of yet. Our CPU
    
has
  
been maxed out and the server bogged down since my return after the New
Year. I have commented out the spamheaders test and the CPU is still
    
maxed.
  
I went into IMAIL and changed the delivery application from declude.exe to
smtp32.exe and restarted the SMTP service and the processing dropped from
100% to approximately 13% - 20%. I placed the declude.exe back in as the
delivery application and the processor utilization shot right back up.
    
This
  
narrows it down to declude however, I have not yet pin pointed exactly
    
what
  
is causing the increase in processor usage. Under the assumption this was
caused by one of my few minor changes before the New Year I reversed all
changes made the week before the New Year. Still the processor is maxed
    
out.
  
Any thoughts, any ideas? I don't want to go through and comment out each
test one at a time to find which the offender is. 

Thank you,

Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] 2005 SpamHeaders - Fix 

Hi, Scott, et.al,
I have upgraded to the new Declude.exe v1.82.  Within a matter of minutes
    
of
  
doing this upgrade I've noticed that my mail server has started to bog
    
down.
  
I don't know if I'm getting his with a new wave of spam and the server's
straining to keep up or if there might be something in the new Declude
    
code
  
which would cause the .EXE to not run as quickly or as efficiently as
before. 

I'm not pointing fingers.  I just wanted to know if there's been any
possible performance changes because of the bug fix.  If not I'll look
somewhere else. 

Thanks In Advance,
Dan Geiser
