Ok, so I specified 256k for the mystery heap in the registry, installed
Declude Confirm (without the .cfg file), snuck the max processes down to

50, and rebooted.  Two mass mailings were sent this morning for a total
of 8000 recipients and the server crapped out... Thousands of little
"SMTP32.EXE" OK boxes popped up between 6-7am (mailing was sent at 6),
and the server crashed because nobody was paying attention.  In the
Imail
Syslogs, I'm finding these starting around 6:40am:

10:22 06:48 SMTPD(CP) error 1455 executing "e:\imail\Declude.exe"
"e:\imail\spool\Q2d170066009c272f.SM

10:22 07:21 SMTPD(CP) error 1450 executing "e:\imail\Declude.exe"
"e:\imail\spool\Q34b40023008ce36d.SM

I'm guessing this just means that there's no more memory to start a new 
declude.exe process, right?  But they continue until 7:22am.... the 
machine continues to send mail out until 7:45am when everything stopped.

Any ideas?
