Did you also move the corresponding Q*.smd files into the queue, as well?  If not, you will need to do that before the messages will get delivered.  Otherwise, they will be viewed as orphaned files.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Slammed by SWEN what to do with spool?

 

Hey all,

One of my wonderful clients installed the exe patch containing the SWEN virus. My SMTP service was brought to a stand still with over 19,000 emails sitting in the queue. I moved all the SMD files into a new directory and searched for the offending IP address. After I got them blocked I moved the legit files (2,000 out of 19,000) back in and now they are sitting there. Is there any way to have these spooled files (D^%$^%.SMD) get picked back up? I am running the latest patch from iMAIL on a windows 2000 server machine. Any help appreciated.

Thank you,

Chris Andrews
