Yes and most likely...the sending machine would not have gotten the proper
handshake at the end of the DATA command and should have requeued the
message for later delivery....I had another admin that was seeing this
problem due the NIC errors. I had him setup the IMail Spool cleaner to
delete messages more than a day old and schedule it to run at 11:50 PM to be
sure he didn't eliminate messages in progress

Subject: [IMail Forum] T* and D* files left in spool


Excerpt from the KB:

"When the message is fully received, the T* file is renamed to be a Q* file
and the system attempts to deliver the message. If you happen to reboot your
system while a message is being received, IMail MAY leave behind the T* and
the D* files. These files are not cleaned up automatically."

I've been seeing a bunch of these now and again and have not rebooted my
system.  Could these files have been orphaned if I had stopped and restarted
SMTP while the message was being received? (If so maybe they should update
the KB) Are they lost or would the sending machine know that it hadn't been
fully received by my server and then resend?

Marc
