Here too, but it eats nearly 100% of System- and CPU-Resources...

I have tried this too and it reduce the load down to 15% but they are
coming in realy fast (faster then my server is which can handle without
any problems 20-30 messages a second). So if I activate "catch-all"
for 20 seconds (and I do not know, when they come in) I have immediatly
several 100 or 1000 messages on the system...
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
