I have a gateway server that declude Junkmail Pro and Declude Virus are installed on along with Imail 7.15. Every week or two weeks my mail will be delayed between 2 to 4 or even 6 hours. This machine is a Dual PIII 866 1GB Ram, 80 GB IDE Hard Drive 3 com 10/100 NIC. My question is what can I do to troubleshoot this issue? If I do look in the logs what can I look for that might through a red FLag? My log files are about 300MB per day for Imail. What are real world amounts of mail that Imail can handle?
Normally, this will happen if there is a larger than normal mail volume during this time -- to the point that IMail (and Declude) can't handle it all. If you know your normal mail volume, you can do something such as:
find "12:10 14:" sys1210.txt | find "deliver" /c
to find out how many E-mails were delivered during that an hour's time. That should help track if a high volume of mail was being processed.
Another possible problem is that mail is taking longer than normal to deliver for some reason. This would normally be caused by slow DNS.
