my three MX machines have recently been hitting constant 0% idle with
processes as above. This is quite unusual for our domain as it has never
happened before. One or two procs monopolising the box. I haven't
changed anything recently, but I have been experiencing spamd ACL errors
and im thinking they are related. I'm posting to the SA list also to see
if there is an issue there but I dont know becuase the Spamd box is
never getting over 60% cpus usage!

Any body else expperiencing similar conditions??
