Trying adding the following line in your declude.cfg file "WINSOCKCLEANUP
ON". This may solve your DNS issue.
Declude 3.0.5.14
ADDED - WINSOCKCLEANUP ON
Located in Declude.cfg. Some customers had issues related to their network
stack causing loss of functionality for basic network operations. The
default for this directive is OFF

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Restarting decludeproc to fix mail backups/dns
problems
I left my mail server alone over the weekend and apparently on the 24th
about 1:15pm EST the server could no longer query any DNS servers and mail
backed up with around 500,000 messages in the proc folder.
I attempted to perform nslookup on my four available DNS servers (which are
configured in Imail), but the mail server would come back with an error that
the server could not be contacted for each attempt. However, from a
separate workstation, I would get responses from all my DNS servers. I
attempted to restart the decludeproc service and it timed out. I killed it
manually, restarted it and I could once again query my DNS servers with
nslookup and mail began to process again. I upssed the threads from 60 to
100 in an effort to process backlogged messages, but a few hours later the
same DNS issues came up again.
This happened to me four times today between 9:00am and 3:00pm, which I can
only assume was due to the huge overhead of processing so much mail. I
copied and purged my spool directory and processing is back to normal, but I
now have customers with lost mail unless I can feed mail back into the
spool. But with 500,000 messages, It will be a full time job making sure
the decludeproc stays functional.
Any ideas?
It would appear that decludeproc is locking up, which I would guess to be
due to overwhelming mail. I normally receive between 100k and 200k messages
per day. Mostly spam. With it being backup up, it looks like having half a
million files in the proc directory was too much for it to keep running
properly.
Windows 2003 sp1
Imail 8.12 (no relay, 3000 accounts)
