Sorry about the number of spool files, I actually meant to say that each one of email is seperate but all of them are sent together and not like one email being sent to a imail user group containing 7000 users unless even this creates the same number or files. I have seen the information on Imail delivery, have a question, does it mean that IMail isnt suitable when sending out huge mailing lists?

Actually, that's 3,500 E-mails that are being sent out if there are 7,000 files in the spool directory (unless you are using Declude Queue, in which case it would indeed be 7,000). > We have noticed that once the files are created and IMail starts >sending out the emails a process called dllhost.exe begins taking up lots of >memory nearly 390MB and processor usage rises to nearly 100 percent. That's probably not an IMail issue. I've never heard of IMail using dllhost. >Does IMail have any recommendations on the number of emails to be spooled >as our >server gets very slow and the sometimes emails take more than 4 hours to >reach the recipient. > Does anyone have any suggestions to tweak, improve performance of >our IMail server. You can go to http://www.declude.com/dq.htm for information on all this. IMail v8 does include a Queue Manager that some people have reported can also help out a lot in situations like this. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
