Sandy & Len, Thanks to both of you for your comments and recommendations.
I'll think about the best approach for my situation and most likely, move the extended store and forward off of the IMail server.

I have yet to see a situation where a client is better-served by having mail backed up for 5 days awaiting action than by having their correspondents know (eek!) that their systems have experienced an unexpected failure. You're trying to be all things to all of your clients from a single server, which given IMail's global queue settings may be unreasonable. You could, for instance, run MS SMTP on the same server with a long queue lifetime and do your mailbagging there, then greatly reduce the lifetime of "everyday" failures in the IMail queue. Like Len, I think 2 hours is reasonable given the expectations of the average end user (a compromise between unattended retries and user liability). If you want to stick with a single daemon, at least try lowering it to 1 day, then, as a situation demands, DEcrease the "T" parameter in relevant messages. -Sandy To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
