Full Version: Exim overloading
The Planet Forums > System Administration > Mail Hosting

My exim is overloading and causing the server load to go above 600! Its sending mail to one of my domains, if i look in the queue there are usually 1500+ messages sitting in there all to this domain, to addresses that don't exist. As a test, I moved control of the mail to another server and it continues, so I must have a worm somewhere. Anyone have any ideas how to kill this?

Make sure the catch-all is set to :fail:

If you still have problems enable RBLs and that should cut the volume down a fair amount.

What is the easiest way to set the catch-all?
