I have the system working with Imail and Declude JM, But when I configured Declude Virus with f-prot the processor goes to 100% and sets there then the spool starts to build. I can see anywhere from 5 to 150 NTVDM and Declude in the task manager. When I shut off Declude Virus the processor goes back to 7 to 25%. and the spool clears out. Any ideas
The first thing to do is to switch from F-Prot.exe (16-bit) to fpcmd.exe (32-bit), as quite a few servers have serious troubles when there are too many 16-bit processes (for no apparent reason).
How many E-mails do you send/receive per day on this server? What is the CPU power of the server? I'm guessing you are processing about 250,000 E-mails/day on that server. At 250,000 E-mails/day, you're quickly approaching IMail's limitations -- specifically, at that volume, you only have 10 seconds to process each E-mail. That includes scanning for viruses (which is quick, but CPU-intensive), scanning for spam (which takes time, but little CPU power), and actually delivery (quick for local mailboxes, lengthy for outgoing E-mail).
To scan 250,000 E-mails/day for viruses, you should be dealing with at least 2.5GHz of CPU power (1 2.5GHz CPU, 2 1.3GHz CPUs, etc.).
