Like a few people here we have had problems with mmdf creating massive amounts of msg files in /usr/spool/mmdf/lock/home . I’ve used TA103329 from SCO’s website and it cleared all the msg files but 3 days later we have had over 10,000 + created again. When we get these massive amounts of files it seems to create the root.lock file, however removing this file does not seem to help much, the messages just fill up our mailbox. I’ve opened quite a few of the msg.* files in the /addr/ directory and this is an example of what we get:
1042443973m0
adfa@aaa.com
- m smtp "hanmail.net" bj038@hanmail.net
there are also other emails, like postmaster@korea.com and so on. Most are Korean web sites, and I know no one here has emailed any of these domains. If this was a windows system I would think it was a virus or worm, but unix isn’t as prone to these sort of things.
Anyway, I’m a newby to SCO unix and I’m not sure where to go next. We are running SCO 5.0.5, 500 MHz, 256MB RAM.
Any help would great.
Thank you,
Jasboy
P.S. I would have used a keyword search, but it has been down.
