Every few days I sort the spool directory by date, and delete logs older than five days, and other stray files older than two or three days.  Sometimes there are matching T and D files, sometimes only a D file.  I also regularly clear the \spool\web folder of stray files, which sometimes requires stop/restart of WebMail service to remove a lock.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] D & T Files

Messages coming into the server show up in file pairs, one starting with D and other starting with T.  When the file has completely arrived, the T file turns into a Q files and the message gets delivered (somewhere in the middle, Declude works its magic).  As I add more and more domains, I'm starting to notice more and more orphans.  According to the Imail web site, these indicate a message was not completely uploaded.  I've seen enough to corroborate this information, but this leads to a question:

What do I do with all the orphans?  Most are not spam, many have attachments, and the sender may or may not send another copy.  I'm new to Imail, what do other email servers do when the rest of the message doesn't make it?  What do etiquette (and liability) concerns dictate?

Thanks
Dan
