David, Thanks for the info!! I was aware of Hijack but being a long time Declude user, I thought it was still a product that need to be purchased separately. I turned it on and will track how it does.

If you have a file hijack.cfg.off in your \declude directory just rename it to hijack.cfg to turn it on.

For us, it turned out that one of our clients was infected with a virus/spyware/malware and was sending hundreds of thousands of spam messages. We had WHITELIST AUTH in the global.cfg. Once he authenticated, he was whitelisted. The system just could not keep up with the load. Once we figured out what was happening it took us a while to identify which account it was. I found that with LOGLEVEL MID, there is a line in the DECmmdd.LOG file that has the text "[Authenticated:<email address>]". By searching the file and finding an unusually large volume of them from one user showed me which account to disable. Hope this helps, Don ----- Original Message ----- From: nick To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 12:31 PM Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Global.cfg cleanup Serge, Are you getting a lot of invalids?
