Declude Queue is nice and was invaluable before the Queue Manager service on Imail. The only problem is this: RSP> than X. At that point, when an E-mail arrives, Declude will start enough RSP> Declude processes to hit the limit of X (each of which scans a single E-mail). DQ requires a continues flow of email in order to clear the /overflow folder. Sending a single message through will not keep the DQ delivery process going. We're still having a number of Imail/PF issues and when a machine gets swamped we switch processing entirely to another box. Then we're stuck with q files in the /overflow folder and no way to get them out. If you copy them into the /spool they don't get scanned by Declude JM or Virus -- Best regards, Davidmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.

Any mail server that terminates the session instead of sending a 5xx is broken, as it's just inviting more waste on both sides. If the server terminates the session and blacklists you temporarily or permanently for future attempts, that's "politically" draconian, but at least it's technically wiser about bandwidth. I had a lengthy argument about this with Len Conrad on the IMail list; you may wish to look it up. As you mention, setting an outgoing size limit may help. But it will not help if you set a (generous, but not crazy) 10 MB limit and users send to domains with even lower limits. And these domains are the ones most likely to muck with your retries. It is, essentially, a no-win situation unless you counsel users to be sure that the destination domain willaccepttheirattachments--fareasierin corporate-to-corporate situations than in person-to-person. -Sandy --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
