I brought this server live this morning, started getting emails I was watching the spool drive, it grew but not fast at first. I then checked it about 45 Minutes later the spool drive had 2800 *.smd Files in it and the \overflow about the same. I sent an Email from my Hotmail account to two different domains that I have, that two different gateways get, but they forward mail to the SAME Mailbox server. I received the one in about 1 minute the other about 45 minutes later. The 45 minute email traveled through the server that I brought up this morning. I then changed the SMTP processes on the gateway server from 30 to 60. Less than an hour later the Spool drive has 130 *.smd Files while the overflow has none. I then sent an email from my hotmail account and it tool about 2 minutes through the same server that had just taken 45 minutes. My question of the day is, Are the 30 SMTP processes not enough to handle the mail without having to spool it? Is playing with this setting appropriate in Gateway Situations?
It all depends on how much traffic the server gets. If you get 3,000 E-mails/day, then there is a problem. If you get 30,000 E-mails/hour, then there probably isn't a problem (you're at the maximum capacity of the server).
If the primary DNS server (the first one listed in the IMail SMTP settings in IMail Adminstrator) correct, up and running? You should try cut and pasting the DNS settings back and clicking "Apply" -- sometimes, it doesn't set the first time.
