Follow-up Comment #3, sr #105905 (project mhonarc): Thanks for your feed-back and comments! I try to answer your questions (1-3), and then add an update (4).
1. the way mhonarc is invoked is indeed as you guessed, on reception of each and every mail: ~> grep mailapp /etc/aliases eng-mailapp: "| /usr/bin/python /x1/eng-mailapp/bin/mailapp" ~> grep mhonarc /x1/eng-mailapp/bin/mailapp mhonarc = '/usr/local/bin/mhonarc' mhonarc_cmd = '%s -quiet -outdir %s -add -rcfile /x1/eng-mailapp/conf/mhonarc.mrc -definevar MAILLISTNAME=%s' cmd = mhonarc_cmd % (mhonarc, dir, elist) log.exception('problem with mhonarc child process: %s', str(e)) log.error('%s exited with status %d', mhonarc, rt) log.error('output from %s was:', mhonarc) ~> wc -l /x1/eng-mailapp/conf/mhonarc.mrc 483 /x1/eng-mailapp/conf/mhonarc.mrc I attached this mrc file. Of course, I am open to suggestions to switch to an other configuration. As far as I can say, the mailapp script dispatches the incoming mails into distinct mailboxes, and runs mhonarc on the relevant one. 2. ~> /usr/local/bin/mhonarc -v MHonArc v2.6.16 (Perl 5.008005 linux) Copyright (C) 1995-2005 Earl Hood, [EMAIL PROTECTED] MHonArc comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY and MHonArc may be copied only under the terms of the GNU General Public License, which may be found in the MHonArc distribution. 3. Isolate an archive... all the errors detected were for the same one (eng-artix-merge which I meantioned), which has also the highest load. However, I could not isolate a message, or a pattern. This was the intend of my convoluted 'head' commands, but I found different patterns in different cases. 4. We may have a general resource problem on this host. At least one other functionality (generation of rss feeds from wiki pages) is also affected. Thanks again.
