we found out a few days ago when I changed the max amount of recipients for
a message to 25, 2 of our customers called with complaints that they were
able before the change to send out a list of 300 for one and 1500 for the
other, we told them if they were spamming people their service would be
discontinued, of course they said that the messages they were sending were
not unsolicited (that's what I would say) and as far as other people using
our sever to spam, I am wanting to say no I have spent much time researching
all that I could through mail-mail on how to prevent it, even as far as
setting the relay only to ip's within our range, if you think this isn't
enough please tell me, I was kind of thrown into this job (not saying I dont
love it) and lack I am sure some of the experience that most of you have

Unfortunately, it likely will not solve the problem.  If there are lots of
the SMTP32.EXE processes in memory, and they are not going away (even after
many minutes/hours), then they are likely stuck.  Not too many people
experience this, but the times that they do, it is usually due to a bogus
or corrupt message of some sort in the spool.

First, though, I would check to see if there is a valid reason for all
those SMTP32.EXE processes.  Is a lot of mail being sent or received?  Is
it possible that a spammer is sending mail through your server?
