Quemanager goes into "stopping" mode but will never stop.
You have to kill the process and restart it for it to work.
How about fixing this problem once for all.
I have a similar problem with 8.22 and a certain mail which kills
SMTPd32 -
Only the first line of the header gets stuck in the SPOOl directoy,
when the service dies. Now I use ASSP to block it on the Adres, I
found in the logs.
Use the free version of serversalive with the SMTP-Roundtrip Plugin
If it fails, start a batch to Stop all Imail-Services, kill all
hanging Services and finally restart all Services.

Not to minimize the problems others are having, but we've been running 8.22
for a year and it has been rock solid on an old Dell server with a T1.
We've always kept up with the patches and haven't had a lick of trouble with
Imail stopping or dying, in over 6 years. With only 10k SMTP connections a
day and 3k emails a day actually handled by Imail, I would think we are also
substatially smaller than most Imail sites, so maybe that has something to
do with it.
It is, more importantly, completely insolated from the internet and no
external SMTP gets to it without first going through ASSP, Trend AV gateway,
& hMailserver (ClamAV/antiphish gateway). These odd, killer emails are
apparently just not reaching our Imail.
I also use Servers Alive to monitor the services from another computer,
although I am not using the roundtrip plugin. It has been very stable and
useful, and I use it to monitor other servers and services as well. Very
configurable but can momentarily run the cpu at 100% when trying to
communicate with a service that is down. Noticable since I run it on my
desktop at work and things come to a screaming halt for a few moments and my
system fan spools up right before I get notice that a problem exists.
Probably my fault since I am running it on a 2ghz Celeron with 512MB ram and
have that much and more in use most of the time.
Good luck,
