you mean IMail-user-to-Imail-user local-delivery msgs?
These are anywhere-to-imail-user messages (ldeliver in the logs).
ok, those of course should be extremely resource un-intensive
10k outbound)how about from internet to Imail?
See above, but I haven't (yet) broken down the delivery stats into groups based on message source. I measured outbound by counting the number of gdeliver entries in the logs.
gdeliver? smtp is eating resources while dropping outbound on a gateway? wow, you are screwed up. ldeliver/gdeliver-ies should take 1 or 2 seconds each max and never fail/queue/retry.
I haven't checked, but would assume waiting for a DNS response would block the delivery processes rather than make them chew up CPU time?
yeah, it would keep 1) more SMTP processes busy 2) longer waiting for DNS responses
Difficult to tell without some investigation. Will try and find out.
I don't think your problem there, but how many webmail processes is key parameter to know since webmail eats so much.
I'm out of ideas. have you AV and spyware scanned the machine? something sounds really corrupted somewhere.
netstat -an
... show any weird ports listening or with connections established?
