I have tracked down an issue with my SA installation that has been reported by others on the list.
Basically large messages (one with multiple attachments in this case) being hung up by SA. I just tried to send a 1 MB e-mail with multiple message and pdf attachments. SA sat there for over 6 minutes processing this message consuming 95%+ cpu utilization. After some digging I would like to see if anyone else out there can reproduce this issue. My environment: - OS X on a single processor G4 w/ 700MB + memory - SA 2.61 - Post.Office mail server - MS Office 2000 Outlook Mail Client I can seem to repeat the issue: - find a message that was sent to you that has an attachment (I have tried JPG, word files etc) - open a new plain text message in Outlook 2000 - drag the previous received message with the attachment to the new plain text message - send the message to someone You should have created a plain text message with the Outlook attachment pane at the bottom with a envelope type icon as the attachment. The attached messages do not get hung up in SA but it seem that if they are attached in SA it triggers this CPU usage spike. The size of message seems to factor as well. Also when I watch the mail log in debug mode the 'checking message' log entry shows the e-mail address in the attached message not the one from the enclosing message. Some messages send slow and the odd one hangs and I need to kill SA and restart it completely. My hunch, which could be totally wrong, is that when parsing these messages the multiple headers in the Outlook attached messages is causing the problem.
