Robert,
Actually the wording was 'others there (meaning messages in the queue)
cannot be tried'. Meaning that if the system has reached MaxQueProc, then no
other messages in the Queue will be attempted for delivery. Only when that
value is less than MaxQueProc, can IMail now deliver other messages.
As Steve said, IMail will still accept incoming email and place it into the
queue. So if there are MaxQueProc number of SMTP32 processes, then IMail
will not begin delivery of queued messages, until such time as there are
free SMTP32s. It might appear that delivery is 'halted', but IMail is really
just using all resources to deliver those already in queue and cannot start
new processes. IMail is still delivering 30 messages. When one of those 30
is completed, then new mail will then be immediately processed and old mail
delivery will begin at a later (queue timer) time.
