I have seen messages in the last couple of day on this list and the IMail list about the spool directory filling and showing an overflow directory. I have in the last 4 days seem the spool fill to 68,000 message with the overflow having a like number of Qxxx-xxx.smd files. I see some mail come into the server and delivered to the mailbox quickly, I see mail delayed by an hour and some delayed by many hours. I have checked the logs both Imail and Declude I do not see and problems.
So an E-mail that is delayed by many hours has entries in the IMail and Declude log files that are at the same time (IE log file entries are at 09:54 and 09:55, but the E-mail was delivered at 11:35)?
This started on the 13 th There is 39,000 messages form that day. 14,000 form the 14th
and about 14,000 from the 15th and 3,000 from today most of them came in
the last hour.
Were there any major changes made that day (upgrades, for example)?
Is your primary DNS server working? Is your mail volume much higher now than it was before the 13th?
My question is why if the queue timer is set to 30 Mins with 20 attempts which is 10 hours why are the so many messages fro the 13th still in the spool and over flow directory.
Because the queue timer is designed to determine how often E-mails will be retried after the first attempt. If it takes IMail 2 hours to try an E-mail for the first time, it isn't going to be able to try it 30 minutes after it was received.
