[Mimedefang] Multiplexor Consuming Processor

[Nathan Martinez]

Hello,

I have mimedefang 2.45-Beta-1, SA 2.63, clamd 0.75 running on a RedHat 9
machine with dual PIII-500 and 1GB memory.  I have been noticing that
the multiplexor process is consuming 99.9% of its processor (using
'top').  This machine's load often jumps to 25 or 30.  When I run
'md-mx-ctrl status', I can see that there are rarely more than 5 or 6
slaves that are busy.  I guess my question is why is my load so high if
I am only processing 5 or 6 mails at a time?

Thank you,
Nathan
