System High Usage, but nothing running

["Jim Waymire" <jwaymire@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rich,

Thanks.  I shut it down, did the addsmtple, then restarted it.  It came back
with high usage, so I shut it down and ran the clean up command you gave me.
This time when I started it back up,  it looked like it was staying low.
However, after a few minutes, I see it is back to about 65% usage.  I must
have something wrong in my configuration that is causing this.  Here are the
active jobs sorted by cpu usage.

Subsystem/Job User Type CPU % Function Status

QTSMTPCLTP QTCP PJ 25.5 RUN

QTSMTPSRVP QTCP PJ 20.4 RUN

QPADEV0001 JIM INT .2 CMD-WRKACTJOB RUN

   Jim,

   To prevent this from happening in the first place, you'll need to
restrict
   SMTP relaying.  Use the CHGSMTPA command to change the allow relay
setting
   from *ALL to *LIST.  Then, create an accept entry for your AS400 using
the
   ADDSMTPLE command.  For example, if the IP address of your system is
   10.1.1.1, then run the command:

           ADDSMTPLE TYPE(*ACCEPT) INTNETADR('10.1.1.2')
   SUBNETMASK('255.255.255.255')

   This will allow your AS400 to send mail, but nobody else.  Once this has
   been set up, end the SMTP server and restart it.

   If high activity continues, then end the SMTP server again and run the
   following command:

           CRTDTAARA  DTAARA(QUSRSYS/QTMSCLEAN) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1)
               VALUE('C') AUT(*ALL)

   Then, start your SMTP server one more time.  At this point, any pending
   messages that the server was continuing to try and send will be
cancelled.
