i have server plesk8.2 with fedora core2. the problem is qmail starts to overload the server when the queue is full with trash emails.

is there a solution to limit the cpu usage and machine resource by the qmail???

it comes to get the load up to 40 from 1.2 :confused:

please help

Install qmHandle and use this command to remove messages from the mail queue that contains the subject failure.

qmHandle -Sfailure

Someone asked me to add this in the Bad Mail From

*\+@*
!*@*.*
!*@*.*

Not sure if it is useful
