OK Finally got my mail system up and running. All works fine, SMTP, POP3 and Squirrelmail. Only thing I have noticed is that the CPU on the OSX 10.3.5 server is running at around 50% with no users logged in. I have done a TOP command in Terminal to see what is running and have noticed that PERL is running at 49%. Anybody any ideas why this is?

Did you install spamassassin? Try lsof to see what files the process has open, one of them should be the script.

No have not installed Spanassassin. It is not installed as default on OSX server is it. What is the full command for running lsof. Know abit about termainal commands but not that experienced. Must admit learning by the minute though.
Thanks for your help!!!

lsof lists all open files.
do 'lsof | grep perl' and see if you can find the scriptfile that is running. Though a ps -fe or ps -aux might tell you also.
