Let�s be precise, you mean the number of messages shown as queued in the
Imail queue tab? or the number of files in the imail/spool directory?
>I clean the queue once
you mean that you deleted 10�s of 1000�s of messages that were in the Imail
queue?

maybe, but for sure you have pissed off some clients. "losing mail" is the
horror of mail admins, "deleting mail" is what the Italian Post Office
does after a mail strike. :)))
>it didn't help
>If anybody have any suggestions please responded
If the number of SMTP processes is not excessive, not comsuming all
available memory, under this queue condition, and if mail is being
delivered with normal speed, then you probably don�t have a corrupted
message creating zombie SMTP processes.
Hard to say what is wrong with so little data, but it sure looks to me like
you should offload Internet mail delivery to an outgoing mail gateway, or two.
With 150K users, how many msgs per day do you have? 300K ? 500k?
