Last week, a toaster that has been running flawlessly for many years was overwhelmed by maybe a million messages to bogus users in a couple hours.
Several days later, qmailctl queue still showed nearly a million queued messages, ostensibly bounces directed primarily at yahoo.com. Apparently, yahoo no longer likes our server, and is deferring everything, which kept the queue jammed. I added queuelifetime and set it to 10; but, that did not seem to have any effect. Finally, Sunday, I used John Simpson's qfixq, and eventually emptied the queue with that. Also rebooted ... So, the queue is empty and system load is back to normal. However, clamd continues to intermittently grab all cpu and peg the system. I prepended everything in simcontrol with "###" and redid cdb's. Still, something clamd/spamd ??? Most important, users are complaining about intermittent inability to _send_ email through this server. Other than occasional clamd spikes, I do NOT see any diskspace, log nor network errors. What am I missing? What else to check? Ideas? -- Best Regards, Mike Schleif mds resource 877.596.8237 - Sell Your House In Two (2) Weeks <http://SellItIn2Weeks.com> --
