LSTSRV-L,
Have a strange problem that started right after my last lsoft
upgrade on march 9th. i installed the newest update.
Anyway here is what is going on the lsmtp console is showing about
7000 messages in and out a minute, and showing a constant 180 smtp
in and out connections.
Top thread count has reached the 500 mark and usually stays around
110
So first reaction we are being attacked.
Checked the firewall at the server level nothing coming in to that
particular server. checked with our rack hosting company and they
see nothing abnormal.
completely disconnected lsmtp from lsoft and shutdown lsoft services
and the connections continued to climb. we have lsmtp logs in the
range of 2 gigs per day.
So it appears that something internally with lsmtp is sending
messages within itself from the server.
also the domains that are making the multiple connections are
showing
localhost.ultrarpm.com
and
localhost.fabulous.com
over and over again however like i said they are not coming from
outside they are coming from within the machine
