Hi John,
That sounds like a good move. I don't have a lot of experience using tcpdump.
Could you help prevent me from fumbling around like a ****wit with it and let me
know what I need to do with it to identify the source of the spamd traffic?
Thanks.
Kind regards.
Jim.

Hmm, normally I agree with you, John but I'd strongly recommend against that.
He's got something hitting spamd approximately 500x more than is needed and
that would just hide the issue.
Plus, I'd likely say the machine is CPU and IO bound from that much processing
anyway... The syslog is just a tip of the iceberg.
Oh, agreed.
Perhaps run tcpdump and see where the spamd traffic is coming from, to rule out
something other than the local MTAs?
