Re: System High Usage, but nothing running

Jim,

I agree with others that a spammer has commandeered your server and is relaying
mail through it. You won't see any mail traffic locally, but the high
utilization in these jobs is a clear indicator. I've had this happen to me.
You can proove it by shutting down SMTP (command: ENDTCPSVR *SMTP) for a
little while and see if the problem goes away. If this is it, then you will
have to reconfigure SMTP on your system to only allow limited relaying.

Thanks for the input, but still cannot see the problem. I know the 2 jobs
that are using the resources are QTSMTPCLTP and QTSMTPSRVP, but these are
just there and open. No email is actually going on here, its just active
for the purpose of MMAIL for sending messages, used on a monitoring job. I
have been trying to do something with CGI and I suspect it may be something
in the configuration of the TCP Servers. Does any of this make any sense?

Using WRKACTJOB place a 2 in the option column next to the QZDASOINIT
jobs. On the command line type in OUTPUT(*PRINT) OPTION(*OPNF). Any
job with recurring open files is possibly eating up your temporary
storage.

Actually, Mr. Waymire, Lukas hit it on the head. Something is sending an
awful lot of mail through your box. I sincerely hope it's legitimate. If
it ain't, I suggest you shut down SMTP until you can get a handle on it.
