[cobalt-users] Mail spooling up won't deliver

[Rick Boucher <admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Raq4i and the system crawls to snails pace a each night. 
Mail spools up and is not delivered to individual users unless I 
reboot.  Mail used to be delivered almost immediately and performance 
was quite cipper. Now I have noted the cpu be loaded from time to 
time and the RAM (512MB) at times is almost all used.  I am hosting 
around 80 sites. with no significant additions over the summer.

I installed MailScanner in late August as the rash of viruses hit the 
net. (When is a rash not hitting the net)?
About 3 weeks later I installed spamassassin.

Since then I have had intermittent email issues escalating in the 
current situation  I thought the problem was alleviated when I told 
MailScanner to stop using spamassissin.  But things just started up 
again. last week end.  I have tried to find information on 
uninstalling MailScanner but have found none.  Wish I had used an RPM 
or a pkg.

I have run the latest version of chkrootkit and nothing was found.
I tried to use lsof and found it was no installed and wondered why so 
I installed an RPM and found little to complain about.


Have considered reinstalling  the OS but with the 80 sites I want to 
avoid that at .......

Any thoughts or help appreciated.

Rick
