Is the process lookup-domain-daemon.pl running on your system? Usually this takes the load off lookup-domain.pl .

Yes , lookup-domain-daemon.pl is running.

What the function of lookup-domain-daemon.pl and lookup-domain.pl ?

lookup-domain.pl just sends domain lookup requests at email delivery time to lookup-domain-daemon.pl , which returns a domain ID.

Check the log file /var/webmin/lookup-domain-daemon.log to see if something is being logged for each email received. If not, it may indicate that the process is stuck - try restarting it with :

/etc/init.d/lookup-domain restart

Hi jamiecameron ,

I find that many high loading is cause by the lookup-domian

Are you recommand to setup the cron job to restart the lookup-domain at regular time ?

Normally that shouldn't be needed .. once started, lookup-domain-daemon.pl should run just fine.

Did restarting it help in your case? If so, you could setup a cron job to run the following every hour :

/etc/init.d/lookup-domain restart
