Howie,

What I am trying to do is split up the outgoing mail queue into a number of 
subfolders on the same machine itself, as in my current environment, I have 
only one server running IMS. Is there any way I can do this ? i.e. my 
spooldir parameter would read :

SPOOLDIR="\\machine1\c$\ims\out\,\\machine1\c$\ims\Spool1\,\\machine1\c$\ims\Spool2\"

When I execute the template with this code, it writes the .mbx file and the 
.mail files to these folders. However, only the messages that are spooled 
in C:\iMS\Out\ get delivered - all the others just stay in their respecive 
folders.

Optionally, is it possible to split up the queue across multiple machines, 
of which only one is running IMS ? Or does IMS need to be running on each 
of them ? i.e can I do :

spooldir="\\machine1\c$\ims\out\,\\machine2\c$\ims\out\,\\machine3\c$\ims\out\"

in which only machine1 is running IMS, machine2 and machine3 are not.

I remember Max sending an email with this suggestion :

 >One performance suggestion I have is to perhaps split up the outgoing 
queue directory into sub-directories so there is never one folder with 
10K >files in it (or even 1K). I think the file system performance drags 
when this happens (especially on slower machines).

To which your response was :

announce this generally at the moment.

Is there any way we can get this feature - in an upgrade or through some 
workaround with our existing copy ?

Vishal.
