What do the logs say it's doing while it's sitting
at 21%? If you look at the task manager, is the cpu time for
smtpd increasing? Maybe try turning off some of the black lists
to see if that makes a difference.

ok, dictionary was reset to 0 and it's still
sitting at 21%

In services go to SMTP and clear the max
invalid recipients per session for dictionary attacks; that should turn it
off. (Note, you'll need to restart smtpd after changing).

no, this is new. It bounces up and down but
doesn't seem to go below 21%. The only settings we've changed have been
those of the dictionary attacks.
I haven't seen a checkbox to turn
off dictionary attacks?

previous version also have this same behavior? Does the cpu time

installed 2006, what settings have you changed for
SMTPD?
I would
start eliminating settings in STMPD to try and find the
culprit. If you have turned on dictionary attack settings
since upgrading, try turning those off and see if that makes a
difference, etc. Let me know if turning something off makes a
difference so we know where to look. Also, could I see the logs
for SMTP when the task manager shows it's constantly eating
resources?

It's like that's the lowest % it will use. Yes. Nothing that
seems out of the ordinary. We're using spamhaus, china and spamcop.
Dictionary is set to block for 24 hours.
Note that a recycle of
the smtp service sets it back to 0% and normal
operation.

What settings in SMTP do you have activated for blacklists and
dictionary attacks?
Tripp
can someone from ipswitch shed some light on
this???

I've noticed that our smtpd service sits at 21% for some
reason. A restart of the service sets it back to normal 0-25% but
this has to be a
problem.
