I'm stumped. Last night was the first time that I can remember where we weren't able to catch up on our job queue. Incoming job queue started growing yesterday around 08:30. Peaked at 8,200 jobs around midnight, fell to around 400 at 7:30 this morning and is now back at 5,000 and climbing. At least 10 of my timing jobs that run every 15 minutes took over 12 hours yesterday. However, I think the system is running fine. We processed 67,000 files yesterday which is a lot but not a record. As far as I can tell, more than 3/4 of that load was garbage. Not sure what to do. We are going to put faster hardware in this summer. If we decide to run spamassasin, that will just require more hardware without stemming the flow of incoming junk. -- Some minds are like concrete: thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.
