I am running qmail and vpopmail.
Hi. My qmail server has been humming along quite nicely.
Its a small server with a small amount of users. I noticed logging
in via POP had become very slow so I decided to talk a closer look.
I notice that the tcprules process and the vchkpw process is sometimes
using up to 90% of CPU consitently. I also noticed a lot of large files in
the
/etc/tcprules.d directory with the following type of names:
qmail-smtpd.tmp.24168
qmail-smtpd.tmp.24105
etc
I tried restarting the pop server and qmail but it seems to just continue
on taking up so much CPU, same with rebooting.
I only have 100 users on this server so I dont think I should have any
problems.
How do I go about debugging this ?
It has been working fine for about 5 months until this.
thanks !
Tony
