Did you reboot SMTP or the server? There's an issue where it doesn't seem to call Declude while it is in the process of shutting down, but it's only a matter of a few seconds. I'm not sure if this has been reported to Ipswitch either, although Scott and Kami are aware of it.

FWIW, I've been running v8.05 since it came out; I was getting at least one spam per day that was not getting Decluded and thus made it to my own Inbox, and today I received my first non-Decluded spam.
Not scientific, but it's another data point.

Subject: Re[4]: [Declude.JunkMail] [BUMP] Files locked but not processed
Given the information, it looks like the most likely culprit here isIMail.
Yes, it does seem like IMail is not calling Declude.
What concerns me for everyone's sake is that while this may have been happening for a while, many people may have been deleting the orphaned files as unexplained leftovers (you see something in the queue from a few weeks back, but you think the server has been processing mail in that period flawlessly without a restart, so you just trash it).
I've taken to running this primitive batch file every 15 minutes using Task Scheduler. It uses the good 'ol Archive bit to lok for files that stay locked in the _~ state and therefore are skipped by IMail.
--BEGIN BATCH FILE--
@echo off
echo These files were marked earlier... for /f %%i in ('dir /b /x /a:-a c:\imail\spool\*.~md') do echo c:\imail\spool\%%i for /f %%i in ('dir /b /x /a:-a c:\imail\spool\*.~md') do echo c:\imail\spool\%%i >>C:\imail\spool\FoundFiles.TXT for /f %%i in ('dir /b /x /a:-a c:\imail\spool\*.~md') do C:\IMAIL\SMTP32.EXE C:\imail\spool\%%i
echo These files are now marked... for /f %%i in ('dir /b /x /a:a c:\imail\spool\*.~md') do echo c:\imail\spool\%%i for /f %%i in ('dir /b /x /a:a c:\imail\spool\*.~md') do attrib c:\imail\spool\%%i -a
--END BATCH FILE--
I would *greatly* appreciate it if a few others could put this in place on their servers and let me know how fast (or if) FoundFiles.TXT fills up. NOTE: this batch file will not be usable by anyone who doesn't use an outbound gateway, however, as it expects a very short queue lifetime, with all all retries done by the gateway.
