Re: SMTP taking 100% cpu utilization

[mkrouse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I have the same thing happen except it's MSF that sucks all the CPU cycles.
It get real high, so I shut down all the messaging stuff (SMTP, MSF, Domino
Router) and do a STRMSF *RESET.  This fixes it for a while, then it
gradually starts sucking CPU again.  It's kind of annoying, but not so bad
that I want to go through dealing with IBM to get it resolved.

Thank you for your reply, however this did not resolve my problem.  I did
EXACTLY what you
specified, and my utilization was fine for a while, as it normally is after
I reset SMTP, then
it skyrocketed back up.   Any other ideas?

Thank you,

Ed Davidson.
