After way too much trouble we found the problem. DNS. Imail is one SERIOUSLY
HUGE DNS HOG! We put two dedicated DNS servers to work for Imail and the
problem vanished.

SMTP?
We had terrible problems
with 8.14 and smtp/queue stopping. We would have upwards of 3000 messages
that would go into overflow; Starting/Stopping SMTP/QUEUE would not always
work.
we had to go back to 8.13

We are still experiencing
this issue. Even though it would seem to be a POP issue, stopping and
restarting the SMTP service solves the issue, for a time. We’ve since changed
the default location for our Declude logs to another directory. We reboot our
server each night. The issue has not been reported in almost a week.
Our logs show we handle an
average of over 500,000 messages a day. Ipswitch has told us that this is very
close to the limit of Imail’s abilities. They also informed us that Imail has
only one SMTP thread and can handle a maximum of 60 connections at a time. We
have an “unlimited” license.

The users are using POP only. Our server does not do defragging.
When we've
tried to run it we get the message that it needs exclusive use of the drive.
We're running an array on this box.
We're seeing some files with no file name only the extensions .mbx and .uid
show up in some user folders. This phenomenon was not present in the users
folders that experienced the loss of delivery issue...

Are they using POP or IMAP? I have seen a few servers with a similar
performance problem when users had extremely large mailboxes and the drives
were really fragmented. Are you using anything to defrag the drive on a
regular basis?
