RE: [IMail Forum] bad email consuming server

[Jez Wilson]

Hi, I had the same problem,   It was down to the domain name server address which was wrong, check this in Imail manager 6+ localhost - smtp it may sort the problem.   Jez -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Roy Childers Sent: 05 June 2001 09:26 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] bad email consuming server I have been having a frequent problem. When one of my users or listserv's sends a mail to a bad or non-existent address, It often spawns multiple SMTP.exe processes in NT which keep running till I reboot the machine. It then starts recording all the failed attempts in my Imail log. This has built up to 500 meg in some single days.   I have the default settings in my SMTP setup of 20 tries before sending back  & 30 in the que. But my Imail server seems to be trying much more than 20 times and more often than 30 Is there anyway to have IMail stop trying to send the mail to these bad addresses?   Please cc me directly if possible.   Thanks   Roy Childers
