RE: [IMail Forum] Queue Manager Using Too Much Processor

Why on earth would a user need to send 75 messages every 5 mins. to a mailing list of 50000 people?  It is really none of my business but that really sounds like a spammer.     Barbara -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Justin Kohlhepp Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 10:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] Queue Manager Using Too Much Processor Hello,   I am running a web server / application server (ColdFusion) / database server / mail server.  Unfortunately I do not have any hardware (or budget) available to set up more machines to take the load off of this one.  Therefore, all of the services running on the machine need to compete from processing power.   Right now I have a user that is sending 75 messages every 5 minutes to a mailing list of about 50000 people.  This has been going on for two days.  During this time, the Imail Queue Mgr has been using 70-90% of the processor and is therefore affecting the other things the machine needs to be able to do.   Are there any settings that would allow me to throttle the Queue Manager service to use less of the processor?  Any other suggestions on what I can do to help this situation?   Thanks,   Justin Kohlhepp New Standard Institute 203-783-1582 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
