I have a theory. I found the Declude process counter tool and I ran it. It showed an average between 0 - 2 Declude process running. I shut down as much other stuff as I could and the PROC folder began clearing out. As soon as I reenabled invURIBL and Message Sniffer the PROC queue began to fill.
I suspect because of the number of processes running with those additional tests spawning their own processes? Is there a parameter somewhere that I can set to override this process limit that Declude is enforcing? I'd like to test my theory. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:Declude.JunkMail- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Beckstrom > Sent: Friday, September 02, 2005 8:46 PM > To: Declude.JunkMail@declude.com > Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude Temp Folder backing up. > > Hi everyone, > > First I want to thank all of you who responded to my earlier question > about > catching the spam that was missed.
