Re: SMTP jobs consuming high CPU

This 'might' be a sign that your server is being used by a spammer and is
sending Large number of emails. Run the cmd CHGSMTPA (F4) and page down
until you see the parm
'Allow relayed mail' . It should not be set to '*ALL'. It should be *NONE if
possible.

Hi,

The follwoing SMTP jobs run on the AS400 server and at times they consume
large amount of CPU,taking the total CPU Utilization to 112%.The users
complain that the other production jobs do not complete in time due to these
SMTP jobs .

The SMTP jobs are :

QTSMTPSRVD
QTSMTPCLTD
QTSMTPBRCL
QTSMTPBRSR

Can you please advice what can be done so that these SMTP jobs do not
consume high CPU or the production jobs complete in time?

I have a series of CL commands which I run to kill the SMTP jobs.These
commands are :

ENDTCPSVR *SMTP
ENDMSF *immed

and then

STRTCPSVR *SMTP
STRMSF *CLEAR

But even after this,the SMTP jobs still start consuming high CPU.Not sure
why?

Please advice

Darell
