Hi Kathy- Could be a dictionary attack.
Are you gatewaying for anybody? Make sure you have their current user list and they are set up as aliases (search the archives for Exchange2Aliases or LDAP2Aliases). Under no circumstances should you accept mail for any domain without knowing what the acceptable addresses are. Imail does not seem to have an option to turn off NDRs, and they can get you listed very quickly on the spam block lists. Do you have any domains with "nobody" aliases? If so, delete that alias on sight everywhere it exists. -d ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathy Lees To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2007 10:46 PM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Thousands of emails in spool Thanks. We have had imail for years and this is a new problem. I see most of the messages end in .gse I have never seen these before. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Doherty To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2007 8:43 PM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Thousands of emails in spool If it doesn't work, check your DNS setup, ad be sure the DNS resolver you entered into IMail setup is running. The normal recommendation is to install the DNS server service on the IMail machine and point IMail to 127.0.0.1. If that's how you're set up, check that the service is running and you can resolve outside addresses on the machine. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathy Lees To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2007 10:15 PM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Thousands of emails in spool Never mind. I got it restarted. I'll see if it works. ----- Original Message ----- From: Grant Griffith To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2007 8:11 PM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Thousands of emails in spool We had this issue last week while I was on vacation and it was the queue manager crashing. Probably a bad message in the queue. Set the queue manager to restart on failure and you should be good. Or search and find the bad message.

In looking in the spool file, we have tens of thousands of emails in the spool folder. Why aren't they processing? I have restarted the Declude Proc service, and nothing has changed.
