antirelayd question

[ymfm]

Hi.
Antirelayd is taking all the CPU usage.
Server load goes up and down all the day.

PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME CPU COMMAND
17472 root 25 0 1496 1496 1196 S 72.6 0.1 12:58 0 antirelayd

Sometimes is goes to 99% permanently running.
I restarted exim, but the antirelayd goes again to 80-90% of CPU usage.

CPU states: cpu user nice system irq softirq iowait idle
total 98.0% 0.0% 1.9% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%


13:57:02 up 12 days, 14 min, 1 user, load average: 2.89, 3.82, 5.45

Any help?
Thanks

That's odd. Have you tried re-installing exim to see if that fixes it? If so, I'd logs a support request with cPanel and have them look at it:

/scripts/updatenow
/scripts/exim4

One final thought, none of your partitions are full, esp. /tmp?

[ymfm]

I'm running /scripts/upcp --force before the exim installation.
The problem is that up2date is running for 100 minutes.

What should I do? Kill pid and start again?
Or I must wait?

Thanks,

[chirpy]

Looks like cPanel have fixed this now, so you will need to do a upcp.

[ymfm]

It´s OK now.
Thanks a lot.

Hello there,
I know this post is Old, but is the only one I found something about my problem and maybe some of you can help me. For days I'm trying to fix this issue but anything I do resolve the problem.

The antirelayd is the top process and always eat between 10 and 80% from cpu. Exim and cPanel has been updated and nothing fix.. If you have some tips in how can I optmize this service I would thank you.

Here is the top screen:

That's most likely unrelated to this thread. Whenever I've seen what you describe it's because you've been running /scripts/fixrelayd

Have a check of /etc/syslog.conf and make sure there are no duplicate lines. If there are any, remove all but one and then restart syslog:

service syslog restart

I removed and server get better

Any ideia why this happened?
Thank you so much!!!

[deieno]

Sorry... You have already answer: "Whenever I've seen what you describe it's because you've been running /scripts/fixrelayd"

Was exactly what I did... all time the /etc/relayhosts and /etc/relayhostsusers are empty making trouble to customers.

So, all times I run /scripts/fixrelayd I have to clean syslog.conf ?

Thanks

[chirpy]

Yes, if you use that script.

Alternatively, just run the following to have the same effect:

service syslog restart
service exim restart
