Mail is being lost..

This came on suddenly,without adding new loads to the server..

Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] TextFilter file, how many entries ?

I posted a question two weeks ago asking if anyone knew a way to calculate
the amount of time it takes for individual messages to clear the entire
receive/virusscan/junkmailscan/deliver process, and this exactly why I
asked. My system doesn't have any filters quite as large as 140kb, or even
70k, but I keep adding steadily to them and it "feels" like things are
somewhat slower.

I think this depends on
-what HW-ressources you have in use (CPU, storage,...)
-how much mail traffic you have during peak times


I've had a problem some days ago by adding two filter files having both
around 140 kB (one for body one for header filtering)

At midnight all worked fine but next morning at around 9:00 AM it was almost
not more possible to logon to the server. Ping whas ok, but it has taken
over a minute to display the Terminal services login screen. After logging
on I've had to wait for over 5 Minutes to see the desktop.
Other 2 Minutes to open the taskmanager and see that there was a lot of
declude.exe's having CPU-times of over 60 seconds and consuming all
disponible CPU-resources.

We've running Imail v7.15 on a Intel P4 2,6 GHz and IDE Raid mirroring
Declude Junkmail and Virus with 2 scan engines.

First I've tried to disable the second AV engine without a result.

After removing the two filter files all become normal.

We process around 4000 msgs/day.
