Remo,
I noticed that one local user which I created when I installed qmail and
before installing vpopmail, was getting lots of messages from qmail under
/home/user/Maildir.
It took the system more than one hour to delete the /home/user/Maildir/new
directory and /home/user/Maildir/tmp and left /home/user/Maildir/cur.
Now the server is working fine, but qmail did not recreate the "new" and
"tmp" directories again.
Vpopmail and the domain accounts that I am using are installed under
/home/vpopmail.
Any ideas why and what qmail was doing?
Thanks,
Sam

did u check your kernel? there are some hackers that may exploit your
server check your /tmp directory if you are also running apache and see if
you see some hidden directories, etc..
just my 2 cents.

Hi,
We have vpopmail version 5.2.1 with qmail 1.03 + mysql 3.23 on Redhat 7.3.
It was running fine for the past 3 years until now.
Lately the server at random gets slow and very busy and could not be
accessed until restarted with a hard reset.
The only thing I can think of is rebuilding the system.
Any ideas as to why this is happening?
Thanks,
Sam
