Re: [IMail Forum] Messages stuck in spool; d-files won't deliver

[Josh Piche]

I was just able to recreate my problem.    Yesterday, I added three host aliases (I've always had one), but I used commas to separate them instead of just a space (ie. domain1.com, domain2.com, domain3.com...).  Normally, most mail is directed to the first alias.    When I tried to fix the problem yesterday, one of the first things I did was delete the new aliases, leaving just one, but then thought nothing more of them.  I just now added them back in, and bam, mail starts piling up in spool.  So, guess who caused this snafu...   What I still haven't figured out is how to get the d-files to deliver.   Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: Josh Piche To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 24, 2001 8:20 AM Subject: [IMail Forum] Messages stuck in spool; d-files won't deliver Late yesterday afternoon, something happened which caused iMail to not be able to deliver received mail to accounts.  I moved everything out of spool into a temporary directory and restarted the SMTP server.  This seems to have fixed the original problem, as email is now flowing properly.   However, I have about 200 d-files that did not get delivered.  I have tried moving several different ones back into the spool directory, but no amount of time seems to deliver them.  I even tried changing the queue timer down to 1 minute.   I don't know if it matters, but the original problem may have had something to do with a Norton Antivirus email gateway I set up a couple days ago.  All of the problem emails seemed to have bounced back and forth between the gateway and imail six times.   Any ideas how to get these to deliver?   Josh
