SMTP chewing up bandwidth like crazy! Please help!

I've got a crazy problem with a client's server. First, it's an xServe running 10.4.11 with all software updates. It's been in service as a WWW, Mail, FileMaker, FTP, AFP & Windows file server for several years now. Up until the other day, the machine ran without too many glitches.
The other day, users started complaining that the Internet was really slow. After looking into it, I was able to conclude that SMTP was bogging down the connection. With SMTP off, repeated speed test resulted in about 6 Mbps consistently. When SMTP was fired back up, our speed test results would drop to 300 Kbps or less!!! If my math is correct, that means that SMTP alone was using more than 95% of our 6 Mbps of bandwidth!!!
I found that if I stopped Mail service using Server Admin -- or if I issue "sudo killall smtp", the connection speed would go back up. Then over the course of an hour or so, enough SMTP daemons launch and eventually bog down the connection again.
SMTP relay is OFF and I've confirmed that the server cannot be used as a relay. I've also confirmed it's not another machine on the network -- I literally unplugged the rest of the network so it was just me, my server, my router and my cable modem.
I booted the server from my service drive and examined the hard disks with Disk Utility and then DiskWarrior. I found and repaired only a couple of very minor problems. I also ran repair permissions on the boot volume. I have tried turning off mail service and creating a new, fresh IMAP database and mail store just to eliminate those as a cause. I tried removing the blacklist servers from the config, but that had no effect either.
When I look at the logs, nothing jumps out at me. Maybe because I'm not accustomed to looking at mail logs. Again, this problem is "all-of-the-sudden". Over the past several years, I would regularly connect to this server over the Internet for screen control with Remote Desktop and would get reasonably smooth performance. Now, SMTP has the Internet connection so jammed that I can barely connect with Remote Desktop (unless I kill off the SMTP processes first).
Below, I've included the postfix config files (/etc/postfix/main.cf & /etc/postfix/master.cf) AND the last 50 entries in the mail.log file. Hopefully I've answered most questions and made it clear that this problem is extreme and all-of-the-sudden. NOTE: I've changed my client's domain to 'mydomain.com' to protect their privacy -- But i've altered no other information.
Any suggestions??? I am at a total loss! If I install Mac OS X server, I create a lot of work for myself and the only reason I'm thinking of reinstalling is because I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO!!!

Further investigation shows that after killing all the smtp (or otherwise restarting it) it works fine for a while then goes nuts launching SMTP and SMTPD processes.
So if the connection is bogged down and SMTP is out of control, I issue:
sudo killall "smtp"
and the connection speed goes back to normal for a while and the output of
ps -aux | grep "smtp"
is as follows:

  • Oracle 10g Rel2(10.2.0.3) on Vista ultimate driving me crazy, Please HELP

    Hello Folks and Expert,
    I am Certified Ora DBA and am stuck, thats a shame
    I am going to install and Test Oracle 10g on Vista as my future client will use Just Vista and no othr OS, so there is no OTHER OS options,
    I ready all the documentaiotn and release notes and also read that Oracle 10g(10.2.0.3) is certified on Vita Ultimate.
    I downloaded the DB which is frm the below link:
    Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3/10.2.0.4) for Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 2008
    *** It installs but it justdoesn't work properly, PLEASE HEEEEEEELP I am running out of time.
    steps I have done:
    1. Installed loppback and tested and it works when I ping, both ping computer and ping computer.domain with no error.
    - whic means under windows>system32>driver> etc>host I added the 10.10.10.10 and cmputer name.
    2. Under MMC I added cmputer local policy for local computer
    3. Also Under "Local security setting" under "Local Policies" Under "User right Assignment" Under "Log on as a Batch job" I added the User name which was created when weload the Vista for the first time which is the Computer Admin, ALSO REALOADED THE COMPUTER WITH TH FACTORY SETTING AND AFTER THE FIST BOOT, UNLOCKED THE "ADMINISTRATOR" USER OF THE OS AND TESTED WITH THE ADMIN USER AS WELL WHICH WAS ADDED TO THIS lOG ON AS A BATCH JOB.
    4. Restarted the Computer on all the step that I had to
    5. Downloaded the DB and installed the DB, it installled without any Error
    ******************My Questions are as belooooowww ******************
    When Oracle installd he prduct, usually under the
    Start menu> All programs we should have 4 folders (Application Development, Configuration and Migration, Integrated management tools, Oralce installlation products) and DATABASE CONTROL - ORCL
    a - when installation finishesh it JSUT DOESN't CREATE ------> DATABASE CONTROL - ORCL Whyyyyy ? (It is driving me crazy, I have another xp machine and it has also I had EVEN Vista Home premium and I was able to install on it before to test)
    b - I can loging to the database after i type the adress I remembered manually in the browser, it logs in without any errror, but
    When I want to shutdown the database It passes the host crendential once and I wait and it does nothing and a little windown pops up and says
    *"Enterprise manager stopped working"*
    C - To test and stop Listener also it just doesn't stop it and doest the samething,

    If the phone was NOT unlocked, it can't work or be activated with any other carrier than AT&T.  It CAN'T be used with Tigo or Movistar.
    Your post makes very little sense.  Maybe you can get some help with English. 

  • My display has gone crazy, please help!!!

    Well folks, you can count me in as another victim of the "checkered/blocked" display problem. It suddenly came up just a few hours ago and I,m going crazy. Have been reading some of the posts and Apple should definitely look further on this issue since it's affecting a considerable number of users. I,m not clear if my system is covered under Apple's Extension Program. My S/N begins with W8526xxxxxxx, please help us Apple.

    Hi Chasnufa!
    Basically your screen looks like an old-fashioned TV test card with blocks all over it? That happened to my imac G5 when I had only had it a short while back in 2005. I had just switched to mac and was devastated. When I rang Apple they said it was the logic board which is the most expensive part to replace apparently. I had it fixed under Applecare. I would find out if you can get it fixed under the Apple program as now it is a known fault with these models.Here is a link to the page Apple have set up about the extended repair program, it does look like your model could be one of the affected ones:

    I hope this helps!

  • Flash Player is causing my Web Pages to flash like crazy Need help!

    I need help, I'm running a computer with Windows 98 4.10.1998
    and Running Internet Explorer ver. 6.0.2800.1106IC
    I had some problems I have fix eveything but when I got to a
    web page it wants
    to install and run flash player if I do Install and run, all
    my web pages flash
    like crazy every clickable icon or line flash the screen
    makes it flicker so hard
    it is enough to give you a headache. Ad boxes on the pages
    flash like a lighting
    strorm. How do I fix this? I never had this before, I ran the
    flash player debug file
    that made no change. Help!

    Already checked the Event Viewer. The only thing I could find is this critical level event
    The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
    This only happens when I am running a flash video in IE10. In Chrome everything works fine. I downgraded flash player to 11.4 but with no luck.
    From the event viewer, the reboots started from sometime in september.(this is my parents' pc)
    I think I found the problem. I changed my video card, a 9600GT, a few months ago with a GT630. I switched back to the 9600GT, and it looks like the issue is not happening any more. But it's still verry ackward for the issue to happen only on IE10.
    I'm still testing to be sure that the video card is the problem.

  • Keyboard problems (typing like t3his7) *PLEASE HELP*

    Just a few hours ago my apple keyboard started typing like th7is4 or like why2 do8es my8 ke2yb8or8ad ty8pe like8 th7is
    It's only on the first line of letters though.
    I've tried everything from restarting my computer, rebooting it in safe mode, going to system preferences and turning off the keyboard and mouse.
    I've done a little research and they say it might have to do with something I pressed, I might have activated "NUMLOCK", but unfortunely my keyboard does not have "clear" or "NUMLOCK"
    PLEASE HELP!
    I have a iMac, with the aluminum wireless keyboard. Just bought a year ago running on 10.6.8.
    THANKS.

    If you have access to a usb keyboard, does not have to be a Mac kb, you could plug it in and check if it is just the kb, not something deeper.
    If the problem is the MB keyboard, you could try, with the MB turned off, jiggling the keys back and forth and generally treating it as if some keys are stuck. Beyond that, you could look into replacing the kb.
    Good luck.

  • I followed all the directions to get Norton 360 to work with Firefox 8, but nothing works. I love Firefox, but if my Norton 360 won't work with it I'll be stuck with IE, which I do not like. Please Help Me!

    I followed all the directions to get Firefox 8 to work with my Norton 360, but nothing has worked. Is there anything else I can do? I didn't know there was an issue when I first upgraded to Firefox 8 so didn't choose the Norton plug ins immediately so I uninstalled Firefox hoping to be able to do it correctly when I Downloaded it again. Unfortunately it didn't ask me any thing regarding Norton so I went to Plug ins as directed to Enable Norton 360's plug ins, but none were listed.
    What can I do now? I LOVE Firefox! If we can't make it work I'll be stuck with Internet Explorer which I do not care for at all!
    I need to have Norton Security to protect my computer. Please help me find a solution to this problem ASAP.
    Thank you,

    Hi Susie, I use Norton 360 and have the latest Firefox 8 installed is working fine for me. Firefox 8 support for [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-360/Firefox-8-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/581640 Norton Toolbar] was released on Nov 8th. Install the appropriate add-ons based on the version of Norton 360 you're using (see official Norton link above). Hope this helps.

  • IBook went crazy - please help!

    Hey,
    I was just downstairs surfing the 'net when all of a sudden my iBook went flooey. The screen went black, and then red, green, white, blue (I'm not sure of the exact order of colors). I tried holding down the power button to force it to restart, but that didn't work. I had to unplug it and take the battery out to get it to stop. When I tried restarting, I got the same funky screens. Oh, and now the fan is going like crazy.
    What happened??
    I have AppleCare, but I'm still hoping this something I can fix myself with appropriate software. I hate parting with my iBook while it's getting fixed!
    Thanks in advance!
    ETA: I just realized that the iBook wasn't shut down despite me taking the battery out and putting it back in. So I took it out and the fan has stopped.

  • Compressor is making me crazy, please help

    I know this question is all over the forums but nothing seems to help me. I have FCP 5.0, Qmaster 2.0.1, Compressor 2.0.1, QT 7.1.3. I reinstalled the whole FCP suite with no good results, trash prefs., then I updated Qmaster and Compressor to 2.0.1, verify permissions and still nothing. I am running mac os x version 10.4.8 on a power pc.
    please, please, please, please help me.

    I am guessing it had to do with the install of DVD SP and/or Compressor and QMaster. Have you trashed prefs for all of these apps?
    In the user menu library (as opposed to the root menu library) did you trash the files in the FInal CUt Pro User Data folder? Not the folders, just the prefs and the cache files. Up higher in the same library are the plist files for FCP, DVD Studio Pro and COmpressor under com.apple.(name of app).plist.
    Now here is the issue I am having. I installed the whole studio at one time, so I have no conflicting prefs or program files. I am not sure, and maybe someone more knowledgable will check this post, but maybe you have some conflicting preference files since you installed the rest of the studio after. (If I am correct, you had FCP for a while, and then later upgraded to the Studio?)
    If that is not the situation then I am stumped and you might have to do a full install. (Not uncommon at all) but you should try to do FCP rescue if you haven't already. It's a free app, I believe.

  • SMTP issue, cant send emails.  Please help!

    Hi everyone-
    So like everyone else, i assume, i wanted the push email for my work. I set up a .me account, forwarded my work emails over, and then set up my work email (bluetie) as my smtp server as i wanted to have the emails sent from that account. For some reason, it just wont work- i can not send any emails! It just waits and waits and eventually says "one or more email recipients not valid" or just puts the email in my outbox (and never sends it).
    I have turned off wifi, as i heard this could be a problem. I have also changed the port number of the smtp to what bluetie recommended. But still no dice.
    Frustrating! Is there any kind soul that could help me?
    Thanks a lot.

    Thanks a lot for the response.
    Yes, i am able to send emails from the att smtp server, but i really wanted to send them from my work (bluetie) smtp so they would show my work email addy.
    customer service at bluetie said they dont block the smtp server as far as he knew.
    any other thoughts?

  • MacBook Wireless -- Driving me crazy -- Please help!!

    I have a MacBook Core 2 Duo with 2 GB RAM.
    Lately (past month) I have been having some problems with my wireless connection (which occurs no matter what wireless network I am using). When I turn on the computer the wireless download speed is fine. Then, after I have been using my MacBook for a while, the speed begins to fluctuate. If I am downloading a file, the progress bar moves along at a normal rate for a little bit and then stops and then it continues to move along again at a normal rate and then stops and this continues until the file eventually finishes downloading. This occurs no matter what application I am using (i.e. Safari, Firefox, Download a file from my iMac over the wireless network, iChat, etc.). The progress stops about every 2 seconds.
    The only way to “fix” the problem is to either shutdown and restart or to just restart. Then things work fine again for some time. It doesn’t seem to happen when I am doing any particular thing or using particular software.
    I contacted Apple Support and they had me make some changes to the network and wireless settings (i.e. create a preferred network for my wireless connection, delete some network wireless Library files, repair permissions) and then when I rebooted the machine, it was, of course, working fine while I was on the phone. However, later in the day the problem reappeared.
    I was using Tiger and upgraded to Leopard on the weekend hoping that it would magically fix my wireless problems but it hasn’t. I have installed all of the updates as well.
    I am hoping that this sounds familiar to someone and there might be a fix for it. I have been looking online for an answer for quite some time. Rebooting my MacBook all the time is driving me absolutely crazy!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Hi,
    I'm curious... Will there actually be 10.4.11 now that Leopard 10.5 has been released? I am hoping there will be a 10.411, of course. I got my Macbook the last week of May 2007, installed the 10.4.10 update the day I got the machine, and had problems since.
    I called Applecare as soon as I was sure it was my Macbook being flaky, not me doing something wrong. That was the fisrt week of June 2007, and Applecare acted like they never heard of anybody having WiFi disconnect problems on a Macbook. The best suggestion from Applecare was to go back to 10.4.9 - not something that appeals to me, as I'd lose the other fixes in 10.4.10.
    The results for Leopard 10.5 are mixed. One thread says it doesn't help, but the users in another thread say it fixes the problem. Either way, I'm not too excited about paying US $129 to upgrade the operating system to fix a machine only a few months old.

  • Hi there, suddenly I can't send email from my iphone. I use mac mail, have deleted it, restored it, done a sync to my mac book, read endless help paged and still get the message *unable to connect to smtp.me.mail . Some one please help!!!

    Does anyone know why my mac/me mail would suddenly stop sending mail? Happend a few weeks back since the software update and now won't send a thing. LIke I said I deleted the acount, set it up again, did a sync to my mac book, checked settings again and still it wont send mail. Received fine.
    I've looked through the threads but cant find one for me/mac mail on the iphone with same problem

    I spoke with Apple Support this morning and they believe anything MobileMe related is due to the conversion over to iCloud that's taking place.
    As for other email clients, check with your host to see if settings have changed on their end. I use inmotionhosting.com and over the weekend the updated their outgoing requirements so that a password authentication is now needed.
    Hope that helps get some on the right path to resolving their issues!

  • Itunes saves podcast files where it likes. Please help me to solve this

    Hi guys
    I have started using Itunes to download a few podcasts but it doesn't
    do what I want...
    I have the itunes library files in My Macbook drive while the Itunes
    Music folder, with all my MP3s is in an external drive.
    I have just noticed that itunes is saving a few podcast in a folder
    called podcast in my Home/itunes folder while a few other podcasts in
    a folder called podcasts in My MP3 folder in the external hard drive.
    I'd like to understand which is the criteria it's using. I don't
    understand why it's splitting the files in 2 different folders...
    The final result i'd like to have is that all the podacast are saved
    on the macbook and not in the external drive, because I watch them
    while I am in my bed....
    Thanks in advance for your help.
