Sessions immediately opened/closed

I have just upgraded to Domino 6.5 (users are still on R5) and I am now receiving a flooding of messages into the notes log like the following:

04/16/2004 03:42:22 PM Opened session for / (Release 5)

04/16/2004 03:42:22 PM Opened session for / (Release 5)

04/16/2004 03:42:22 PM Closed session for /|Databases accessed: 0 Documents read: 0 Documents written: 0

04/16/2004 03:42:35 PM Opened session for / (Release 5)

04/16/2004 03:42:35 PM Closed session for /|Databases accessed: 1 Documents read: 0 Documents written: 0

04/16/2004 03:42:42 PM Closed session for /|Databases accessed: 1 Documents read: 16 Documents written: 8

04/16/2004 03:42:45 PM Opened session for / (Release 5.0.12)

04/16/2004 03:42:45 PM Closed session for /|Databases accessed: 1 Documents read: 0 Documents written: 0

If you look at the times, the sessions are opening/closing almost instantly. This is causing the logs to fill up and I am getting a new log file every 10 min, which is filling up the database very fast.

What can be done to either stop these from logging or find out what is making the server act this way to begin.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I come from a developer side and not the admin.

Thanks.

most likely it’s users replicating their mail or other databases, if there are no new/modified documents then the document count will be 0

i think you can turn off the session logging with the ini LOG_SESSIONS=0 (check the help for the exact parameter)

Thanks, I will check out that parameter.

I am assumming that this server is also your incoming/outgoing SMTP server? If so, these are connection requests. If your servers is directly connected to the internet, I believe these are normal. If it is an unwanted connection, your server configuration and hardware configurations should prevent the connection from taking place for malicious purposes.

I believe there are settings that reduce the amount of data sent to the log file. You may want to research that option if the log is becoming too large.

This is my SMTP server but the connections I have indicated are internal connections, not external. These type of connections (from internal) have just started showing up since we upgraded.

Thanks
