Adam,

What 'email' topology/setup do you use?  The error that you are recieving
looks like it's trying to push two or more statement to the SQL server at
the same time (common SQL issue).  Have you double checked your DSN via:
http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-20001219-DM02.htm ?  If you are not
hosting massive amounts of email clients, you and your email server, will
rest a lot easier using the native imail 'registry' database.

Subject: [IMail Forum] SMTP hogging cpu, possible SMTP attacker


Over the last few days I have been experiencing some very heavy load on our
Imail server from SMTP. I am running most recent version of Imail server. I
looked in the sys logs today and saw a bunch of weird entries that i have
never seen before, these entries just keep showing up throughout the log and
seem to be present around the same time as SMTP is using alot of cpu time.
The log entries look like this:

12:05 15:50 ODBC(155044339) (Table: (null)) Initialize:SQLDriverConnect
(Check userid and password on server.)
12:05 16:26 ODBC(162605339) (Table: tblUser) IsValidTable : (Error: # HY000
: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Connection is busy with results for
another hstmt)
12:05 16:26 ODBC(162605339) (Table: tblUser) CreateTable : (Error: # HY000 :
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Connection is busy with results for
another hstmt)

These lines do not make any sense to me. It looks as if someone or something
is trying to create table's within my user database or something like that.
Could this be someone attacking our server?
