Not sure if this is a bug... But I found one of my servers today with some really high loads and running very slowly. I tracked it down to spamd which was ultimately caused by a loop in exim.
The issue was with the option in Tweak Settings "Email users when they have reached 80% of their bandwidth". With this enabled and users who were over quota and with 80% bandwidth usage it would create a loop like this in my exim_mainlog:
This started happening to multiple users and as you can see it's happening (retrying to send?) about every 5 seconds.
After I disabled this option and restarted exim the problem disappeared and my load came back down under 0.50 from over 8.00.
Is there any way around this? I have many users who do like to get bandwidth usage notices.
