Normally, most users will only have 1-2 declude processes running at the
same time. However, the 8,000+ spool files dated today is a dead
giveaway: Something ain't right.
With 8,000 files in the spool directory (and the high number of
declude/smtp32 processes), you are most likely dealing with either a
spammer or a mail loop of some sort. All you need to do is look at a few
of those files in the spool to get a good idea as to what is going
on. Just look for the pattern: Do they all contain the same text? Are
they all to/from the same user? Something in those files should provide a
clue as to what is going on.
