CPU resource usage trending up abnormal

One router thread hang on transfer message to mailrelay on outbound smtp server. The router task always show one thread is transferring one message to mailrelay.

The CPU resource is trending up to 25%(The normal is 3%) and occupied by router task on our AIX server. We must restart the Domino server(cannot quit normal, must use nsd to kill all Domino process), then the CPU resource is back to normal.

Does any one have the same situation? Have any idea?

Many thanks!
