Recently my exim server has been running rampid on my server. It queues up hundreds of messages for delivery and i see hundreds of /usr/sbin/exim -Mc 1GxbzQ-0002Jw-0p type messages in my process list.The server load climbs to well over 150 across all three time intervals -SIngle Processor, 2.4Ghz -1Gb Ram serverMy only recourse is to kill exim, delete the message queue and reload. I have exim setup to block spam by comparing to multiple DNSRBL lists.This only started happening a few days back and I cant get my finger on as to why
Try adjusting the following in your Exim configure:
deliver_queue_load_max = 3.0 queue_only_load = 3.0 queue_run_max = 1smtp_accept_max = 33 I take in several thousand a day and these settings keep my system stable. I've got a 1.7Ghz CPU and 2Gig of ram.
This will also keep antispam/antivirus programs from hogging your system. ## > http://tanaya.net/vmw/In Memory of Private First Class James Edward Thomas Let us not forget Private First Class James Edward Thomas, casualty of the Vietnam War.
