I'm noticing that on out spamfilter server, the cpu is maxed out. The only thing I can figure is that it is having a problem with the database to deliver messages that were sent through from the web.
I keep closing and restarting it to try and deliver all the messages. What's going on? |

Kevin,
What database platform are you using on the backend (SQL, MySQL, Access or Oracle)? Is the DB server installed on the same server as SpamFilter? If not, could you please check the database server to see if it is able to keep up with the flow of queries that SpamFilter is issuing to it? If the DB transactions get queued, SpamFilter may be forced to slow down it pace, and that could cause high CPUs. What kind of traffic are you receiving (emails/day, concurrent connections at any second)? |

I am running a SQL backend. It's on a different server.I didn't get a chance to check if the sql server was maxed out, but there was no connectivy, I blocked it at the firewall, so it was doing nothing but trying to deliver messages....kinda weird. Just so you know, every once in awhile my auto whitelist gets wiped out still. |

For the AutoWhiteList problem, can you please check your SpamFilter.ini file for the entry:
AutoWhiteListForceDeliveryFileName= and make sure the filename is specified with a full path (i.e. c:\program files\SpamFilter\AutoWhiteListForceDelivery.txt). If not, it may be that SpamFilter is trying to use different copies of the file scattered thruout the hard drive, if Windows changes the default directory when SpamFilter runs. For the high CPU, if SpamFilter is configured to use a database, and you have however stopped the connectivity, normally that is not a problem as SpamFilter shold realize the problem and suspend writes to the DB. But just in case, have you tried disabling the DB functionality within SpamFilter? |

Have you been changing your RegEx in the keyword filter lately? I've caught myself a couple times entering invalid or very agressive rules that have nearly crippled my processors on the server. We also have SpamFilter on one server and SQL on another. May help or may not? Bob |
