I have searched through back messages and found one thread with someone having huge load averages caused by dbmail-smtpd.
Well...I'm getting HUGE load averages with dbmail-pop3d. For whatever reason the load average on my box is jumping up to well over 7.00 after dbmail-pop3d has been running for a few minutes. This is on a dual 2.4ghz Xeon with 4 gigs of RAM...so I can't for the life of me, imagine what would cause that type of load. This mail server went up last night...so in the past 24 hours it has accepted something around 2000 messages. We do have lots of clients checking mail frequently, around every 5 minutes, however, I wouldn't think that would cause this type of load. I'm running dmail-1.1, MySQL and Postfix on Linux. (RH 8) As an example, at this very moment the box has a load average of 5.62. There are currently 6 clients connected to the pop server. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this? We don't have that many clients, only about 300 email clients...what type of load should be expected from that type of base? Any help is greatly appreciated.
