Re: SMTP jobs causing 1000s of audit entries per hour

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ibm found the problem 

I found a similar issue where ptf SI72805 was created so that these temporary .wrk files are not audited.  This ptf just came out late March and is not currently on your system. Please apply that ptf along with the latest recommended SMTP ptf  SI73016
