Ok, finally...here's a follow up to this old thread. I switched all
  traffic back to a 7.13 box for 3 weeks with no incident. The 7.13
  was receiving from the same inbound gateway and delivering to the
  same outbound gateway as this 8.10 box. 3 days ago I switched the
  traffic back to the 8.10 box and just this morning the spool
  and overflow folders started filling again. Got up to 1,000 files
  before our monitoring alerts kicked off (BTW - whoever recommended
  ks-soft.com, thanks!, it's great).

  I did a netstat -a as someone recommended and this is what I got.
  Finally killed the netstat after about 500 of these:

I did not get the "connect fail...no buffer space" error in the Imail logs this time 
and the machine
did recover, however, I think this was the beginning of the same
issue.

Any ideas now? Why would all of these tcp sessions be in a listening
state with no foreign address? This box cannot be accessed from the
Internet, it can only be accessed/access Postfix servers in the DMZ.

I'm not to familiar with netstat, does this mean Imail is trying to
deliver a message and it's listening for a response to a TCP session
it has initiated?

Thanks

-David
