Are you sure you are running patch 6 on the email engine? I ran into a problem at one point with because email engine pre-patch 2 does not delete temporary files. In which case the temp folder filled up with over 1 million files and caused poor performance of the email engine (about 6 emails per minute). A simple resart of the email engine did not fix the issue. We had to remove all the temporary files in the directory.
