RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Proc directory backlogging from time to time

[Panda Consulting S.A. Luis Alberto Arango]

Thank you both for your help and comments.   Yes I am running sniffer in a persistent mode. It is a relief to hear that you are handling 180K with same setup..   I have found some strange issues within the server and they don't seem to be related to Declude, smartermail, etc. Mostly something related with folders, files and memory. Before I jump into conclusions I am just testing some things and report back to the forum.   So far after a fresh restart of the box Proc directory went back to normal and so far so good.   Meanwhile I will accept Darrell's offer and email him off the list. Thank you very muchh Darrel.   Regards   Luis     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Herb Guenther Sent: lunes, 30 de octubre de 2006 16:22 To: declude.junkmail@declude.com Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Proc directory backlogging from time to time Are you running sniffer in the persistent mode?  That will lighten the load quite a bit, we are doing 180K a day w the exact same setup you are.

We process about 60K to 80 K every day. And from time to time I found between 8K to 10K in our PROC. It seems to be an spammer flood, but my server is not able to manage it fast enough to empty the directory.   We use Declude (version 4.3.7), sniffer latest engine, inv-urbl and f-prot   When checking at the task manager I see quite a few (8 or 10) sniffer processes running at the same time as well as f-prot and inv-urbl processes, but not fast enough to empty the proc directory.   The PROCESSES directive seems to not work. I don't know how to speed up the processes unless I remove sniffer, inv-urbl and f-prot.   I run a box with XEON  Double Core 2.8 GHz, and 2.00GB of RAM running Windows 2003 server.   I am running Smartermail 3.3.2439   Any suggestions? ideas? on how to prevent backlogging in the PROC directory?   Luis Arango --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
