Hey Len,
Sorry, I had to take off yesterday. DNS has been OK and we have not made any
changes to it in a few weeks. Looking at things this morning, I only have 1 SMTP open
in the task manager. However the past two days there were about 10 to 15 open and
doing nothing. They would still be open after around 15 minutes and the spool
directory was swamped.
Don't know what is going on. Seems to be working fine, not any errors other than a
few usual MX Failures in the logs, everything just is really slow compared to what it
used to be.
