RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Spool Directory Backed Up

let's see. if your files are filling up in your spool, seems to me that declude doesn't have anything to do with it.   the operating theory of declude is as follows (copied from declude web site)       Email-IN -> Mail Server -> declude.exe -> Proc -> decludeproc.exe ->work-> spool -> Mail Server -> Email-OUT                                                                        |                                          |                                                                   Review   <----------------------                                                                        |                                          |                                                                   Error   <----------------------   The files you see in the spool are already processed by declude. So the problem is the mail Server it self (imail in your case). Of course there are a lot of variables. Is the proc directory full as well? or it is empty -the load is not as high whe you take a look at it-=. Probably if declude has something to do with it, it is because it is consuming a lot of resources and that doesn't let Imail server process the messages in the spool efficiently.   With that said, take a look at your task manager and see what processes are eating your resources. Are you running sniffer by any chance? and if you do, are you running it in persistent mode?       Luis Arango   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of A.

Are those emails for or from your users? Make sure nobody is using your server to relay on and is sending large amounts of spam from there. That will explain why you have 37K messages in your spool   what is you daily volumen of emails?   Have you checked declude logs to see if they offer valuable information to determine what is going on.   Do you run Imail or Smartermail? I'm running IMail.  I haven't noticed anything unusual in the logs, and I'm running two Postfix boxes in front of the IMail server to ward off distributed dictionary attacks, and their config has not changed. -- A.
