Josh,
D files without the corresponding Q files are not enough to cause IMail to
deliver the message! IMail will leave only the D file when it cannot send or
return the message.

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

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
