I would say you need to allow more SMTP processes than 10, maybe hundreds.
I think you can open that number up in the registry, see the KB.

How do you conclude that the spool directory is "full". Are you out of
disk space in imail\spool partition?
> Any ideas? I really need help!!!!
I guess you see lots of msgs in the Imail queue?
This is a long shot and therefore not at all a silver bullet and w/o
gurantee of hitting any target, but turn on SMTP debugging and then
stop/start the SMTP process, or even reboot NT, to make sure you clear any
deadly embracing locks or orphaned locks.
And check your NT Task Manager constantly. Also, is the DNS that Imail is
queying in good shape and responding?? Sending mail is often slowed
dominantly by DNS queries as Imail tries to find the ip of the destination
server, and then by slowness of the SMTP handshaking between your SMTP
client and their SMTPD server.
Also, make sure your resum� is up-to-date. vbg
