Re: smtp using all of cpu

We ran into the same problem with SMTP.  It appears to be caused by an "email" 
getting "stuck".  There is a series of commands to fix this.  Email me directly 
if you are interested.

Cheers!

      We have been using the sndemail program to send emails from our RPG 
programs for over a year now.   Since last Friday our smtp servr has been 
soaking up all of the CPU.   We stop the *smtp server,  let everything clear up 
and return to "normal"  and then restart the *smtp server.   It goes well for a 
while until a program runs that uses the sndemail and then it seems to throw 
the system into a tizzy again.  If I look at active jobs for QSYSWRK  there is 
the four smtp jobs running that should be plus four others.

QTSMTPSRVP   QTCP        PJ     10.9                   RUN     ????


    If I keep re-freshing active jobs I see these smtp jobs using a bunch of 
the cpu.   Does anyone know what may be happening or why?  What we can do?
