[Modus] spam directory

[TIASpeed]

would any harm be done if we simply deleted the contents of the spam folder? vince ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles Shaffer To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 5:26 PM Subject: [Modus] spam directory If there is a communication issue this SQL or SQL is being used heavily the spam folder will grow. I manage three MM3 servers handling around 200K spasm per day and I see my spam folder grow to 30K � 40K and within an hour or two they can be empty. This worried me at first as well. I believe this is by design as to not overload SQL.   Charles   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of TIASpeed Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 7:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] spam directory   thanks, do you know if a problem with super heavy usage of sql could cause the quarantined messages to go into the spam spool? vince ----- Original Message ----- From: Jon Benson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 5:10 PM Subject: [Modus] spam directory   Mail only ends up in the spam spool when it can't make it in to quarrantine.  Either a problem with quarrantine/SQL/ModusAdm can prevent that happening.   As for trying to get info on the folder try ALT-ENTER to get the properties or use "dir" in a command shell rather then explorer.   Explorer chokes on folders with large numbers of files.   Jon Benson Mail/DNS/Linux Administrator OzHosting.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of TIASpeed Sent: Thursday, 4 December 2003 10:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] spam directory yeah, i don't know what really happens in the spam folder. but mine is usually no more than 150 with 2,600 mailboxes. i'm very confused and somewhat concerned, because mail is apparently not being delivered vince   ----- Original Message ----- From: Jon Saunders - SECPA To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 4:34 PM Subject: [Modus] spam directory   I just checked on mine, it has 53,000 and is also growing - I don't know what it runs normally.  We are fairly small and don't do that much mail.  What is weird I show nothing in the quarentine.  My sievedata.mdb is only at 37M   ----- Original Message ----- From: TIASpeed To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 3:55 PM Subject: [Modus] spam directory   ok, it's up to 60,000 now and growing like crazy outgoing mail that i send takes forever vince ----- Original Message ----- From: Total Internet Access To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 3:37 PM Subject: [Modus] spam directory   i have over 55,000 messages in my spam directory under the vopmail/spool. I have never had over 365 that i know of. what could cause this. could it be held there becaus of rbl lookups? I use only spamhaus.org and have that as a zone in my dns and secondary dns vince
