Using IMail db. I will probably use IMGate down the road, but since I'm not a FreeBSD guru and the situation was dire enough that I didn't have the time to work through setting up IMGate (and I didn't have a machine available to run it), I ended up getting a trial of Alligate and it immediately improved the situation. Have been running problem free since Friday afternoon.

Len's  right  about  the load-shedding capability of a gateway. Still,
66,000  bad  address  validations  (or  66,0000  minus  the legits) is
totally cake for IMail using a local (Reg) database IME. Are you using
SQL or AD?
