RE: [IMail Forum] CPU Problems w/Imail 8.x

Title: Message

The processes are entirely Imail-related, i.e. the processes responsible for Web Messaging, Queue Manager, and POP3.  We run Norton AV but don't scan the c:/imail/spool directory or c:/imailusers directory.   As to messages, Id say the total number of outbound (not counting local) is only about 30,000 messages per day.   Regards, Jamie Price Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.HostMySite.com Get your FREE .com, .net, .org, .biz and .info domain name at HostMySite.com!

That will start giving you hints of what is going on. Make sure every process is right, legal and not suspicious of virus, Trojans, etc.   What email volume do you process every day?   Also: In another forum I read in a recent post that somebody with 100%CPU discovered that the problem was because of viruses. He found C:\WINDOWS\System32\systems.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\System32.exe http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32agobotp.html   Give it a try..to see if that may be the problem               -Luis Arango -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jamie Price Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2004 2:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] CPU Problems w/Imail 8.x   I work for a webhost that maintains 25 separate installations of Imail Server running the latest version (8.05?).  Each server contains approximately 1,000 separate domains, with no set limit on the user inboxs.  When we were using v7.15, we had major problems with emails getting stuck in queue.  This was resolved when upgrading to the 8.0 series, however the trade off was that we now have major problems with CPU load.  Typically, the CPU runs at about 100% during what I would call a 'normal' load.  CPU is split b/t Queue Manager, SMTP, and occasionally the Web Messaging processes. Any suggestions on how to ease my troubled CPU?   Regards, Jamie Price Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.HostMySite.com Get your FREE .com, .net, .org, .biz and .info domain name at HostMySite.com!
