>purging and defragging the (dedicated) Imail spool/webmail partition

The drive is fragged but not any worse than the other Imail box that's
rocking. But I'm defragging at night.

>>purging and defragging the (dedicated) Imail mailbox partitions

Same as above.

>>looking for (newly) huge .mbx files

Nothing major just a couple over 30 megs. Deleted the 900 meg root Main Uid.

You can also look at the IMGate connections (and connection refused) per
hour to the Imail server to see if there is some spike there sending Imail
SMTPD into overload and panic. ime, it's very easy to overwhelm Imail.

The box has 512 megs of memory. So I increased Maximux Processeess to 60 and
Delay Between Recipeints to 500 and made Maximum Receipts to 50.

or if you don't have internet access to Imail port 25 blocked, then maybe
something is attacking Imail port 25 in parallel with Imgate
deliveries.  profile the SMTPD connects/hour in the Imail logs.

Most of the domains are not behind Imgate. I am checking  SMTPD but can't
find any culprits.
