Richard, are you rotating your sniffer logs daily? I had the same experience a very log time ago, and found that without rotating the logs, appending to a monster text file was soaking up a lot of cpu and disk on my server.
Bill Landry worked with a lot of people here to make his download script generic enough for everyone's use. Bundled with that is a script for rotating your logs and uploading them back to SortMonster so that your system provides feedback on rule strengths. You can find more information about the logs here: http://www.messagesniffer.com/Support/TechDetails/logFiles.jsp And the user submitted scripts section is here: http://www.messagesniffer.com/Support/submittedScripts.jsp In particular, you would want to download: http://www.messagesniffer.com/Support/UserScripts/ImailSnifferUpdateTool s.zip And then edit the cmd files to provide your executable name and auth key in the variables supplied. And then schedule the rotate/update script, e.g. At 10:23PM /every:m,t,w,th,f,sa,su c:\messagesniffer\snfupd.cmd I hope that helps somebody, Andrew 8) > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Farris > Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2005 8:07 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [sniffer] Sniffer Resources > > When I turn off sniffer my server acts normally on > rescources..but when I turn it on it goes to 100% and stays > there most of the time...I have tried updating the sniffer > and rebooting the server but does not help...it has been > doing this for about a month...has anyone else seen this..if > not what can I do to resolve it..right now I have sniffer > turned off so I can just send mail thru the server.. > > Richard Farris > Ethixs Online > 1.270.247.5555 Office > 1.800.548.3877 Tech Support > "Crossroads to a Cleaner Internet" > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Pete McNeil" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Andy Schmidt" <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, September 05, 2005 9:43 AM > Subject: Re: [sniffer] Integration with today's new ORF version: > > > > On Monday, September 5, 2005, 9:26:38 AM, Andy wrote: > > > > AS> http://www.vamsoft.com/orf/agentdefs.asp > > AS> > > AS> It says to contact vendor.
