Hello all,

I seem to be having a problem with qmail-local taking a lot of CPU quite often. It doesn't happen with every email, but it doesn't seem to have any "rhyme or reason" as to why it happens with some. The qmail-local task can take up to 99% CPU, though when its a problem, it usually takes only 70-80%. The problem is, this is basically causing some TCP services to not respond to connection requests, or take too long (over a minute). The users that have Outlook often receive an error. This is, of course, bad. Any ideas where to start to analyze this problem?

Thanks,
Phillip
