I can almost guarantee you its a disk IO bottle neck on your spool drive. I recommend putting the spool on a dedicated disk, and create a 1GB partition for it (to reduce fragmentation)... but don't put anything else on that hard drive, unless its static data on a separate partition.

I have a Imail 7 server that about 50% of the time, when I telnet to port 25 I get connection failed. I get the same connection failed message even if I do it form the server and telnet to localhost 25. But them sometimes it goes thru. First I know people will say the NIC. It has been changed to 3 different ones to rule them out. Another weird thing is, I have zero problem at all telneting to port 110. Machine specs: windows NT 4 SP6 2.4 Ghz 1 gig ram dual 80 gig HDs Intel 8255x-based PCI Ethernet 10/100 Any ideas would be very helpful. The server gets atleast 500,000 emails a day to it.
