I don't mess with the queue files directly, but in the Imail control panel there is a Queue tab where you have some buttons to play with for resending now rather than waiting for the next queue run (ie the "retry X times every Y minutes" thing). Do you see 3714 files in there? >Len, I pointed my DNS server to ns1.corbis.com so it wont route internally >first. Also .. thanks tons for all the help!!!

If you're really in the list business seriously, and these spikes of Imail list deliveries, failures, re-queing, etc, is driving you and your Imail box nutz with deterioration in the "user experience", then I suggest you add a P200 IMGate machine just as "output gateway" and have Imail "sent all mail through a gateway: ip address IMGate". This would allow Imail to dump all that list traffic+headaches at full speed (Imail doesn no DNS lookups, no queuing, no delivery failures) on IMGate, and then IMGate does the delivery and nasty business.
