Thousands of little
"SMTP32.EXE" OK boxes popped up between 6-7am (mailing was sent at 6),
You can thank Microsoft for that great behavior. It runs out of a resource, and ensures that there is no way for it to fix itself, because it eats up further resources by requiring human intervention.

You can also thank Microsoft for their decision not to document this scarce resource -- according to the best information that they do supply, the popup should not be able to occur on the SMTP32.exe process if you have a recent version of Declude running. A few people do continue to have the problem even after installing Declude.

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
That's bad -- that's a "The paging file is too small for this operation to complete" error message from Windows. And:

10:22 07:21 SMTPD(CP) error 1450 executing "e:\imail\Declude.exe"
"e:\imail\spool\Q34b40023008ce36d.SM
This is a "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service" error message from Windows.

Most likely, the 1455 and 1450 errors occurred after the first pop-ups occurred, as they will eat up all sorts of system resources.

I would recommend lowering the maximum number of SMTP processes down to 30 (the default setting), to see if that prevents the popups.
