Your best bet is to add a mail gateway like IMGate, Alligate, MS SMTP/ORF, etc. to take the load off of IMail for dropping connections for bad email addresses and possibly some scanning at the gateway.
You might also check your Declude logs to make sure you don't have any DNS tests that are timing out and causing delays in mail scanning/higher CPU utilization. You may have to switch to DEBUG mode temporarily to check that.

What ways are there to - refuse mails that have no valid recipient on the mailserver (not bounce, just refuse/drop) so they need no more processing? - refuse/drop mails that don't pass certain tests (eg. spamcop or sniffer)? OR what other methods could speed up things? We have older versions of declude /imail server (8.15) Thanks --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
