How do you prevent someone from "Hijacking" the server? I'm getting lots of
the " -xgfwe" type of emails.

This probably isn't an IMail problem. If the number of files in the spool
is increasing, then the number of outgoing/incoming E-mails is increasing.
That happens if someone has hijacked your mail server, or if a mail loop
occurs.
Common sense would suggest that you should open a few of the D*.SMD files in
the spool directory. If they say things like "Enlarge your * * * * *
-xgfwe" it is likely spam. If it has 20 "Received:" headers, it is
likely a mail loop.
I guess we need to hurry and get Declude Hijack released...
