Scott, Thanks indeed for the wonderful answer (and timely too!) -- I just checked the theory and it is absolutely as you describe (I'm actually 1 off, but that's close enough for me right now!).
Thanks again! Bill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of R. Scott Perry Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 17:06 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Queue files and 'queue message count' >I am wondering if anyone knows how Ipswitch calculates the 'Queue Message >Count' found at the top of the 'Manage messages in the mail queue' dialog. I believe it is a total of the Q*.* files. Each E-mail is split into a D*.SMD file (the actual E-mail headers+body) and a Q*.SMD file (with the SMTP envelope). Different extensions are used occasionally (IE FWD/FWP for forwarded E-mails, VAC for vacation messages, GSE/GCE for postmaster messages). You can have stray D*.* files that have no corresponding Q*.* files (when double-bounces occur, where IMail can't deliver a bounce message), but each Q*.* file should have a corresponding D*.* file. Because of that oddity, you won't always get the numbers to match just by looking at the file extension. One other note: E-mails that are currently in the process of being delivered (that are locked) will be in the format _*.~?? (such as "_1234567.~MD"). -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.
