There is a tweak for this in declude. You can set the maximum number of
decludes that will run at one time. This helps set limits in cases like
this.

| Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Declude crashing and taking up 99% CPU
|
|
| I have tried my best to help with this issue, research, testing, etc.
| During a normal business day, declude is awesome - working very nicely as
| advertised and very reliable. Perhaps, on an email server with less
| traffic, some declude customers wouldn't even know of any reliability
| issues. I think I have narrowed down the issue with our declude
| operation.
|
| During a normal time period, we do pass a ton of emails, but during the
| moments when the flood gates open and spam flows in, this causes many
| declude.exe's to run. Some use 99% of the CPU, while others simply use up
| memory. In my opinion, an opinion from a non-programmer, I would
| think that
| there should only be one declude.exe running (as a service
| perhaps). In the
| event that declude can't handle a "High Surge of Spam", then
| declude should
| pass the junk mail on to imail for normal processing.
|
| With Imail limiting smtp32.exe to just 30 instances (configurable by the
| registry), this would not cause a problem with the desktop heap.
| You could
| even trim down the smtp32.exe count to 10. Then, when the flood
| gates open,
| the mail will just be a little slow, but reliable.
|
| I think this would make a more reliable server. Again, I am only
| TRYING to
| help and give ideas. My intent is not to step on anyones toes.
| I will keep
| looking at the list to see when they have this problem fixed, but we can't
| continue to provide poor uptime on our mail server.
|
| I do want to add one final note, my hats off to Scott for a great product
| design and truely remarkable tech support. I honestly don't know when he
| sleeps. Outstanding work ethics Scott!!!
