Looks like I figured this one out.. I noticed that the server hostname was misspelled. As soon as I fixed this and restarted SMTP, the problem seemed to go away. This doesn't make much sense to me, but as long as the problem is fixed, I'm happy!!
Anyone have any idea's why this would slow SMTP to a crawl?

Troubled Server Need some help because I'm drawing a complete blank.. I have a mail server running Imail 6.06 with the latest patch that is constantly maxxed out 100% CPU on both processors. This is a Dual PIII 1Ghz machine 512MB's or RAM and 40GB UDMA 100 drive. This configuration should be capable of handling mass amounts of email, yet it is having trouble sending 2,000 messages per hour. Which is all it has been doing since it has been having this problem. All hardware has been replaced and I have even re-installed the latest patch. SMTP threads take over CPU completely. I have the # of processes available set to 80. Once I stop SMTP CPU usage drops down to below 5%. I have moved all files out of the spool folder. Once it receives a few in, it maxxes out again. There is no list or mass emailing that is causing this. It is just SLOW.. I have multiple servers setup exactly the same and have never seen this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Frazer Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
