Please let me correct one of my statements above.  Evidently I did not (due to old-age disease) remove my keyword file.  I found the keyword problem about the same time Roberto did.

Thanks to Roberto and the team at LogSat.  Excellent support of your software. 

Marcus

As mentioned before thanks to Marcus' email samples and help we wereable to find a bug in the RegEx processor that caused the CPU to peakat 100%. We've posted a fix for it with build 2.6.3.473, now availablein the registered user area. While the build appears very stable, ithas not received all the testing we would have liked to perform beforereleasing it. However due to the seriousness of the problem we decidedto make it available now for users who wish to deploy it immediately.]]> Sun, 17 Jul 2005 18:20:28 +0000 https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=5198&PID=6256&title=100-cpu-usage#6256 <![CDATA[100% cpu usage : With Marcus we found a specific...]]> https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=5198&PID=6238&title=100-cpu-usage#6238 Author: LogSat

With Marcus we found a specific keyword RegEx that was causing 100% CPUwith a specific email's body. We're trying to determine what is thecause of the issue and will hopefully have a fix soon now that theproblem is reproduceable.]]> Thu, 14 Jul 2005 23:38:20 +0000 https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=5198&PID=6238&title=100-cpu-usage#6238 <![CDATA[100% cpu usage : I haven&#039;t had any more issues...]]> https://www.logsat.com/spamfilter/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=5198&PID=6237&title=100-cpu-usage#6237 Author: vrspock

Dan

I have tried as low as IdleDisconnectMinutesTimeout=3 and doesn't seem to have any effect.

Logsat

I sent you some data via email 7/13 10:30pm cst and 7/14 12:15pm cst from Site-1M and Site-1C recspectively.

A complete redownload -reinstall-reconfig .ini at site-1M and problem has not recurred, same for site-1B, and site-1A.  Qdb is not active at these sites currently.  Site-1T has shown no instances of the problem & recieves the most email and spam. Site-1J has shown no instances of the problem.  Site-1C a complete different story.  Have done complete redownload -reinstall-reconfig .ini without and with Qdb and problem keeps recurring.  Lots of info in the email.

Same problem here with 2.5.1.441 version.

I get only 1-5 concurent connections, and around 10.000 mails per day. Running SpamFilter on Win2003 OS on Dual Xeon 3.06 GHz with 2 GB RAM.

SpamFilter configured to use MSSQL database, and uses from 50-90% CPU!!!

...until I figured out what consumes so much CPU - SpamFilter's AntiVirus  I removed AntiVirus and CPU consumption dropped down to normal 1-9%

A few weeks ago we had the same thing only with 2 of the 4 servers.  The 2 that was having an issue were are primary domain that receives a couple hundred thousand per day on each server  While it was peg at 100% CPU the memory was 200Mb Plus.  The only way I was able to get it back to normal was to set the IdleDisconnectMinutesTimeout=5  Then within mins it went back to normal.  I have left the setting to 5 mins and we havn't had any issues since.  We are using MySQL with 4 SF servers.

Thanks,
Dan B

Marcus,

To-date we hae not been able to reproduce the problem. Any info you may have can be useful. In your case we can probably use:

If you have copies of the emails that made it thru after adding them tothe whitelist that would be of great help (we'd need to original email,headers and body)
One of SpamFilter's activity log for a day this occurred
The email addresses you think are causing the problem
Your SpamFilter.ini file and all your local blacklist/whitelist and keyword files

Could you zip everything and email it to us at support_at_logsat.com?

Any official way to fix this?

Yesterday 4 different servers running v 2.5.1.441 since it was released.  No problems since install.  Suddenly yesterday at about the same time all 4 started freezing connections in the "rcpt to" state & maxing cpu as described above. 

Removed all filters (keyword, blocked ips, etc.) one by one - same

Removed the use of Quaratine db - same

If I enter the addresses in "Excluded from emails" ( as vrspock states above ) it does allow those to pass correctly. 

This is not happening on all email, some aol.com and some list servers in particular.

Ideas?

Thanks,

Marcus
