RE: [IMail Forum] Stuck in Spool

That's what we're working on figuring out; why it's not removed from the spool.  The fact that it is not deleted means some bit of logic is skipped which could also be causing the memory rise in your STMPD32.   Tripp   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matrosity Hosting Sent: Friday, April 21, 2006 8:54 AM To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Stuck in Spool why not delete this kind of email since it's known to be a spammer tactic? We're having this problem as well in addition to VERY high memory usage for smtpd32 running 2006.03. By VERY high I mean 800 MB's for smtpd and we're having to restart it daily!

(they don't wait for the 250 OK from SMTPD).   Since STMPD can not give the client a 250 OK the message has not been accepted for delivery and is not delivered (a proper client will resend the message later since it didn't get the 250 OK).  In this case it is left in the spool as a T  and D file.  We are looking into why SMTPD does not clean up the T and D file.

All the messages are received within a minute or two of each other (there are perhaps 10 of these groups where 40 messages are delivered at the same time - for example 40 messages at 7:38am, 40 at 11:32am, etc).   The logs for these deliveries all stop at "performing antispam checks".  In the declude log, the message are uniformly HELD.  Does that mean they are just left in the spool?
