I had a similar problem last week. In that case, it turned out to be a problem with the Sniffer add-on program for declude Junkmail. It was related to their new wide-release-beta (v2-2b). They have had flurry of beta releases addressing the problem. The latest is v2-2b6. I have been running it for several days with no problems.
Here is a message from the Sniffer e-mail list when this problem was happening: Sniffer> Pete, Sniffer> Sniffer> It happened again today about 15-20 minutes ago, where the spool folder and Sniffer> overflow folder were growing very quickly. I moved the old version back Sniffer> into production, and mail started flowing properly again. Is there Sniffer> anything else I can do to further troubleshoot this issue? -Russ Uhte Sniffer> Sniffer> --- Sniffer> [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fritz Squib Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 7:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Overflow Directory Scott, I've got a little problem here, all of a sudden (as of this morning) the declude overflow directory is flooded with mail waiting to be delivered. 1:47 AM - 2:04 AM not moving at all so I copied them from overflow & spool to another directory. Big gap until 3:11 PM - mail is coming in faster than can be delivered. No evidence of a dictionary attack that I've seen so far. Currently 30,927 in the overflow directory and growing. I'll take the standard user cop out and say "I didn't change anything" ('cause I didn't). All of my DNS servers are responding correctly, I've switched between all three that I have available with no noticeable improvement. Imail 7.15 w/all hotfixes Win2K Advanced Server Declude Virus / F-Prot Declude JM Pro 1.77 beta Processor(s) running "normal". Any ideas ? Any responses off list to fsquib at kecksburg dot net please (different mail server), as it may take a while with the backlog of mail in the spool/queue. Fritz Frederick P.
