Microsoft DNS Caching Server Only, I have tried pointing to a different DNS
server, no luck
>What version of Declude?
Version 1.75
>Are there Q files piling up in the spool\overflow directory?
Yes there are Q Files in the overflow directory, and D files in the Spool
Directory
I had 400 Q files in the overflow directory, so I changed my SMTP Processes
to 30, and went a head and rebooted. I let it run for 10 minutes and boom
7,600 Q files and growing.
Thanks,
Kris
