I built a simple VBScript for alerting if mail gets held in the Hijack hold folders, it wouldn't take much to make it alert if number of Q files in Overflow exceeds a threshhold or if any files exist at all. It is available at http://spamreview.argolink.net/software, called the Hijack Held Notifier. It shouldn't require any aditional software to run, just a little editing of variables, I could even help if you need it.

From my testing, the only time the overflow queue gets activity is when either a dictionary attack, mail loop, dns issue or spam flood is occurring(because the number of processes hits a threshold, I'm guessing). So, this has become a great way to gauge when an Imail server is having overload issues. I'm looking for a very easy, efficient way to monitor the size of the overflow directory(on NT4) and then take an action, like sending an alert, if the file grows an x amount over an x time period. I have found a few shareware proggies that can do this but before I commence testing, I figured I'd ask the experts. Has anyone fiddled with this concept yet? If so would you care to share your experience\suggestion?
