MS killing CPU

 OK, thats good to know.

 Guess I have to keep an open mind on the cause for this problem
 then. I'm aware of previous problems with MS killing a machine,
 but none recently. Maybe I've jumped to a wrong conclusion.

 Done. Nothing really leaps out to me

> Check the output of free and "vmstat 5" and "iostat 5"

 Again, Nothing unusual as far as I can tell

> Look for "bigevil" [snip]

 Is this  RBL something that had to be added in Spam_Assassin.conf?
 I can't find it anywhere, so can discount this [I think].

Gotta add that MS has been working flawlessly for quite a long time,
I'm worried I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion.

Thanks for the help/replies, well keep a close eye on things.

Cheers!
Hendrik
