MailScanner on 3.0.1.9 hogging all available ram + swap
Posted: 03 Apr 2017 07:35
Hi,
i've got the mailscanner hogging all the available ram and the swap, no idea why; we see that it's supposedly busy extracting attachments; tried to gave the machine a lot of power but that didn't solve it.
At the moment we're standing on 8 cpu's, 24gb ram + 36gb of swap and mailscanner process dies constantly since a few days.
Tried to update to see if that would solve the problem, brought everything to current, but problem still there.
Any hints on where to look ?
