This was suppose to be a holiday ... I didn't need this.

Imail 8.22
Declude 3.0.5.22 EVA & Junkmail Pro
F-Prot/ClamAV/Sniffer

I had a problem similar to Darrell's. After noticing very little mail going
through the server yesterday and then this morning, came in to find 20,000+
msg in \proc folder. It does appear Decludeproc had a major senior moment --
had climbed to 510,000K in task manager. Couldn't stop service; I rebooted.
Mail started moving, but slowly and Decludeproc moved up to 400,000K +.
Based on previously comments, I added DNSOVERRIDE to declude.cfg.  Mail is
moving faster and Decludeproc is sitting around 100,000K.  Now down around
9,000 msgs to go -- light at the end of the tunnel -- just hope it isn't an
on-coming train!

I guess I conclude with this:
 1. where's the documentation on DNSOVERRIDE - couldn't find any.
 2. at least the msgs weren't lost, just held up - a plus for the Declude
model.
 3. I'm not standing in some &%$#&* return/exchange line.

Hi Darrell,

My Declude is working as Pro still. Looking back I find an undeliverable
message to:

Delivery failed 20 attempts: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am not sure if this is a call home message or not since it has part of a
message that I sent to Declude support earlier at the bottom of the
Undeliverable message. I do know that the message that is at the bottom got
through as David (of Declude) replied to it.
