Len, I think it's time to get Sanford to run a comprehensive test and
settle this once and for all. <G>
The reason that I say that it won't have too much affect on the CPU usage
is because IMail handles the copied E-mail along with the original
E-mail. Before the "copy all", you would have 2 files in the queue (and
one SMTP32 process delivering it). After the "copy all", you'll have the
same two files (although one of them will be about 30 bytes longer), also
with one SMTP32 process delivering it. You'll have extra CPU usage (and
disk usage), but few IMail servers would have trouble handling the extra
volume (the main volume issue with IMail is when there aren't enough SMTP32
processes, or there are too many files in the queue). Even if the load was
doubled, in this case, an IMail server should have no problem handling 30K/day.
In this case, it sounds like the problem is that someone is trying to
download up to 15,000 or so E-mails in a 600MB file. That's going to be a
long process.
