Every day at 02:01 dataskq is started and it will never come to an end.
Furthermore, the dataskq process cannot be killed. The corresponding CROND process can be killed however.
When I run "top", the load average is incremented every day by 1:

[root@main root]# top
09:42:19 up 24 days, 23:41, 1 user, load average: 17.25, 17.23, 17.17
137 processes: 135 sleeping, 2 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
.
.


[root@main root]# ps -ef
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
.
.
root 14063 2372 0 02:01 ? 00:00:00 CROND
root 14064 14063 0 02:01 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/directadmin/dataskq
.
.


If I run "lsof", I notice that dataskq has always the file "/var/spool/mail/xxxxx" open. "xxxxx" is always the same user.
I have emptied this file, but without results.

The only special thing about user "xxxxx" is that it has an extra MX-record in the nameserver.

Any suggestions?
