Hi,

I'm running SM 1.2.8 on a RedHat Linux 7.3 (php-4.1.2-7.3.6 , postfix-1.1.7-2, 
perl-5.6.1-34.99.6, imap-2001a-10, all through SSL) and I'm experimenting 
slowness and httpd process to go wild caused by redirect.php . I've been 
through the FAQ on http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/SquirrelMail but there's 
nothing that seem to help.

* The "slowness".

"Slowness"  means literaly minutes to log in, as it takes forever to process 
the INBOX (my guess). Yes, the INBOX are quite big (~ 20MB) by those users 
are "bosses" and (again and again and again) avoid to learn on how to create 
mail folders (imap).

Will 1.4.1 speed my users' experience?



* The "httpd process gone wild" by redirect.php

For some reason, one user generates tons of mesages like this (see start and 
end):

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# grep badhost /var/log/httpd/access_log | grep redirect | 
\ grep 17/Jul | head -n 1

badhost.mydomain.com - - [17/Jul/2003:08:12:58 -0400] "POST 
/squirrelmail/src/redirect.php HTTP/1.1" 302 5

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# grep badhost /var/log/httpd/access_log | grep redirect | 
grep 17/Jul | tail  -n 2

badhost.mydomain.com - - [17/Jul/2003:09:44:15 -0400] "GET 
/squirrelmail/src/redirect.php HTTP/1.1" 200 934

And there are quite a few of those messages:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# grep badhost /var/log/httpd/access_log | grep redirect | 
grep 17/Jul | wc
   1684   16840  185863

This is 1684 requests of redirect.php between 08:12:58 and 09:44:15 , when I 
restarted httpd and everything went back to normal again.

In the middle of this situation, my server load, was pretty high:

load average: 22.54, 18.22, 12.42

After re-starting it, the load started to go down to regular levels (something 
like 0.05, 0.06, 0.08)

The file exists (/var/www/html/squirrelmail/src/redirect.php) and looks 
identical to the one from the tar file where I got my SM 1.2.8.


Will 1.4.1. help me here? IS something that I'm missing and that is killing my 
SM?


Thank you in advance for any help, hint, URL, fine manual...



Regards,
Josep
