I have... the problem was actually with our sendmail.... it is supposed to have a message size limit... for the maximum size of message that sendmail will transfer for.... it turns out that during one of the updates, that option was not set... so by default it is unlimited, so when a user wanted to send a 170MB home video from her outlook, the server was sitting there trying to transfer it...
The problem was fixed by removing the mailq and resetting the option in sendmail. I guess that for the pop, your server received a large message and one(or more) of the user(s) is trying to download that to their computer? I think cyrus has a max_size option ... or may be lmtp... which tells it to fail if it finds a message larger than that.... -- -- -- Rafael Mahecha E-mail Administrator Office of Information Management Jackson State University JSU e-Center 1230 Raymond Road Jackson, MS 39204 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (601)-979-1783 http://www.jsums.edu On Tue, November 20, 2007 3:51 pm, Faust wrote: > > > About 5 to 10 minutes after starting cyrus_imapd the process pop3d will take > 100% cpu usage and the system will freece. > > Anyone else has seen this problem? > > I am using fedora 8 with the following packages; > > cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.22-6 > cyrus-imapd-utils-2.3.9-7.fc7 > cyrus-sasl-lib-2.1.22-6 > cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.22-6 > cyrus-imapd-perl-2.3.9-7.fc7 > cyrus-imapd-2.3.9-7.fc7 > cyrus-sasl-2.1.22-6 > > > Faust > > ---- > Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ > Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki > List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html >
