Thread-topic: SMTP Jobs consuming resources

I have just recently configured our SMTP services on our AS/400 170 due
to an EDI requirement.  Everything goes well for a day or so, but then
the system resources are slowly consumed by QTSMTP* jobs.  After
researching, found an IBM resource document describing that it is "mail
looping" that is causing these jobs to consume resources; it instructed
me to add the fully qualified name of the AS/400 to the host table via
CFGTCP option 10.  I have done that and am still experiencing the issue.
It was also suggested that the problem could be caused by the AS/400
name being specified as the "Mail Router" parameter on the CHGSMTPA
command - this is not the case on our system.

Has anyone else run into these same kinds of issues with SMTP?

We are on V5R1 cum C2134510.
