Should I be worried?, or is this normal? It may or may not be normal. If there are lots of Q*.SMD files as well, then it is E-mail that is waiting to be delivered. If the dates/times are all recent, then it could be a spammer or someone sending out bulk E-mail. If the dates/times are old, it could just be a lot of mail waiting to be delivered that can't be delivered (because a server is down, for example). If there aren't nearly as many Q*.SMD files as there are D*.SMD files, then you're dealing with "double bounces" -- these are E-mails that IMail couldn't deliver, but it couldn't send a bounce message either. It keeps the D*.SMD files, to make sure that the E-mail doesn't just "disappear". -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.
