You notice there are 35 smtp and 34 esmtp
Most of these when looking in the mail log are for ONE domain on the box. A domain that is not even using email on the box. I even #domainname in the hosteddomains and remade the hosteddomains.dat file to attempt to kill this but it still continues. All these are to unlisted users at that domain - tons of them.
Now if I check mailq I have over 300 mails that are in there . Most to the senders of this garbage.

Other than clearing one at a time with cancelmsg and the id how do you clear this que!!!!

HELP, the load is killing the usefullness if have seen the cpu well over 8 normall runs about .2
Stoping courier fixes it but cant use email without it.

Comment out the domain in the /etc/courier/esmtpacceptmailfor.dir/hosted file by placing a "#" in front of it and run the command below.

/usr/local/dsm/scripts/fixmail

You may want to also remove the dns entries"mx records" because you will still get the connections.
