Hi, I have a critical problem with qpopper 4.0.9, when qpopper
service is running on mail server the queue increase and I have more
200 mails in spool !! I think that qpopper daemon use a too much
system resource (memory and CPU), if qpopper daemon is stopped in a
few minutes the queue is empty.
When qpopper daemon is running I have:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ps -ax|grep popper

..how can I solve the problem ??
Some more thoughts. I suspect the problem you are encountering can be
caused by thrashing or a disk failing. You might want to use top and
vmstat (whatever its equivalent is for your system) to check for
excess swapping or disk I/O. Also check the system log for disk
errors. Remapping and retries on drives are quite slow and really
bottle up the system.
