The CPU spike is probably do to sheer volume.
What is the current volume of messages being processed?

It took me a while to get these stats. I reviewed the SMTP logs for 12/4,
12/5, 12/7, 12/8. I know the server was running fine during this week.
Usage is as follows.
12/4 - 83,170 messages
12/5 - 82,065 messages
12/7 - 95,087 messages
12/8 - 95,730 messages

Since a sizeable amount of blank subjects are spam and come from forged
addresses, please don't bounce such messages. It's called backscatter,
and it is a very large problem, typically amounting to 1% to 2% of my
total mail volume. This is also common enough that you would also upset

A 200 MB normal IMail log file (not set to verbose or debug) would
correspond to more than 200,000 messages on my system. I don't log

My read is that he is only attempting to enforce the subject requirement on

It's not about blocking spam, it's about forcing employees to be sensible

day from 1 employee that carry blank subjects. Dare I say 700 a month from
one person? Memos, personal requests, outside of ramming their head

I didn't read your original post carefully enough and misunderstood the
exact situation as a result. Sorry to have touched on your
frustration. I agree, no-subject people are annoying, especially when
they do so 20 times a day. Around here that's grounds for disciplinary
action :)

I've actually found that ramming their head into the cubicle wall works
better than a filing cabinet. They're rather resilient and don't take
too much damage, nor are they so hard that they'll actually knock out
the luser and make them forget why you were assaulting them.

How many files do you have in your spool? Anytime I've had this problem

I agree with Matt that it may well be a user sending high volumes of SMTP
traffic through your server. It doesn't have to be a lot of messages, but if
