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.

  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.

    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.

      Never mind. I got it restarted. I'll see if it works.

        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.

        I noticed over the weekend, little emails coming through. 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.
