[IMail Forum] 2 gig syslog file

Title: 2 gig syslog file

This has only happened twice to us, however I cannot figure out what is causing this.

Last week, our syslog file reached 2gb. bringing our server to a complete halt.  I had to stop all the services and restart them and then quickly rename the syslog file to see if the problem exists, it didn’t.  Has anyone come across this?  I want to run the Imail Analyzer log tool but not sure how long it would take or if it could handle the 2 gig file on our current hardware.  We are running Imail 7.15 with about 40 users in a POP and IMAP environment ~50/50.  We are using an eval of Decludes EVA and running Spamsoap.  Any ideas on why this happened would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
