Top shows HIGH load, is it SPAM?
I need some assistance. I noticed my server is under high load, over 10.0, as high as 14.0+. And alot of the resources seem to be used by qmail-local, and mysqld.
I got two spam complaints this morning.
Here's a screen capture of the top command. I really need someone to have a look at this. Who's a Qmail guru, and can take a look at this situation and help me out?
I just copied the output below, the load has gone down somewhat to between 5 and 7 now.
