SMTP taking 100% cpu utilization

[Ed Davidson <edavid3001@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After it has been running for some time, the QTSMTPCLTP job will take as much of
the processor as it can, making utilization 100% or ++++.

I have V4R4, I have applied all of the group PTF's, all of the Group Hypers, and
all of the Hypers as of April 10th, 2000.

If I look at the job log of the job, it is almost empty.  No open files either.

After an IPL, the system runs normal (20% utilization) for a few days or so 
before
this starts up again.

 This started after I closed off third party mail relay by configuring my 
AS/400 to
send E-Mail through the firewall vs. relaying it to the firewall.  This didn't
start immediately.

Any ideas?

Thank you;

Ed Davidson.
