Not sure if this is any help but I had similar issues and found that my C:\IMAIL\spool\proc\work folder contained hundreds of thousands of messages.
When I deleted all the messagaes in there, the pop 3 server share of the cpu dropped dramatically. I could not actually delete everything in the work folder initially. I had to stop the declude process in services, then rename the /work folder to /work2, started declude service again and a new /work folder was created. I actually have no idea why this worked and am not enough of an anorak to study why, but it worked for me and I do this every few days.

What ways are there to - refuse mails that have no valid recipient on the mailserver (not bounce, just refuse/drop) so they need no more processing? - refuse/drop mails that don't pass certain tests (eg. spamcop or sniffer)? OR what other methods could speed up things? We have older versions of declude /imail server (8.15) Thanks --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
