Re: High CPU usage

Frank,

You run the following commands:

CRTJRNRCV JRNRCV(QUSRSYS/QZMF) TEXT('SMTP Journal')
CRTJRN JRN(QUSRSYS/QZMF) JRNRCV(QUSRSYS/QZMF) TEXT('SMTP Journal')

Then you start SMTP journalling with the following:

CHGSMTPA JOURNAL(*YES)

Let it run for a little while, say 5 minutes and then shut if off using:

CHGSMTPA JOURNAL(*NO)

You can use the DSPJRN to display the journal.

Good luck.

Jeff,
We have seen this happen on client systems. The job in question is the
SMTP server. This could be an indication that a spammer has locked on to
your system and is routing spam through you. Or, it could be that an
email has been sent through your system that has a bad domain name
associated with it. We've seen this drive up SMTP utilization too.
SMTP journalling should help you.

All,
I have a client that is experiencing a high (for them) CPU usage ranging
from 40 to 60 %.
They have identified a system job named QTSMTPTCTP as a possible cause.
Does anyone know what this job does? It runs in QSYSWRK and there are
about 8 jobs of that name active.
Thanks,
