Hey all,
A few accounts on my qmail server recieve 1000 emails a day. Sometimes these don't get checked for weeks. The mail is also kept on the server for a few weeks so the CUR dir gets pretty massive.
It's all been running fine for months with no config change, but now when a user tries to pop the account the cpu% on the server maxes out. If the user quits Outlook and then starts again, a second pop process starts on the qmail server and the cpu% splits between them. If I kill the processes it all just starts again.
The only way around it I've found is to delete messages from the CUR dir down to about 1000 or so.
The server is a dual 500 with half a gig of ram and the desktops are 700s with 256 and the connectivity is not an issue.
Anyone know of some "tweak" that might help me? Or do y'all need more info?
Thanks
Andy
