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? -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
