QueueMon is excellent for monitoring and logging these things, and very affordable too. http://www.invariantsystems.com/queuemon/
FYI, it doesn't official support SmarterMail, but it works perfectly fine on my SmarterMail servers.

I like the idea of getting notified if the spool file begins to fill up, I check it now and then and if would be nice To simply be notified if it begins to back up for whatever reason.

I was just suggesting that the number of files in the spool dir exceed some number [100?] then send an email. I got the idea from the hijack vbs code [Thanks!] on the declude website which I kludged to work to notify for the spool overflows.. -Nick # spool_mon.vbs fSpool = "e:\imaillogs\spool" aMail = "e:\imail\imail1.exe " mFrom = "-u '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' " mTo1 = "-t '[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]' " if GetFileCount(fSpool) > 100 then MailNotice "Spool", GetFileCount(fSpool), mTo1 end if Function GetFileCount(folderspec) Dim fso, f, f1, fc Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set f = fso.GetFolder(folderspec) Set fc = f.Files GetFileCount = fc.count End Function Function MailNotice(fname, fcount, mTo) Dim mCmd, mSubj, WshShell set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") mSubj = "-s 'Mail held in " & fname & ": " & fcount & "' " mCmd = aMail & mFrom & mTo & mSubj & "-f placeholder.txt" Return = WshShell.Run(mCmd , 1, TRUE) End Function -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Nick Hayer Sent: Sunday, April 02, 2006 7:59 AM To: Declude.JunkMail@declude.com Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Hijack Notification Hi Craig, Although you may already do this figured I mention it anyway - this technique works well to monitor spool traffic eg when a threshold is reached I get an email - so for example in your code below IF FFunc.Count > 100 [altered path for the spool dir] > send me an email... -Nick Craig Edmonds wrote: Hi John, Not sure if this is any help but I found a basic way to handle this as I had problems with clients ringing up saying "I sent out some mails and they have not gone"...etc etc etc, and of course when I check the hold2 directory there are 500 emails in there. What I do is have a basic setup that checks for me every 30 minutes if there are some .smd files in the C:\IMAIL\spool\spam\hold2 folder and if it finds any, it emails me a simple email telling me how many *smd files there are which then goes to my blackberry letting me know. I am pretty sure there is an easier way but this is my 10 minute solution and it works for me. 1) I installed the following object on the mail server http://www.xs4all.nl/~jarit/asp/filefunc/download.html 2) made a .vbs file called check4files.vbs and put it in the C:\IMAIL\spool\spam\hold2 dir. The code in the .vbs file is like this.. ======================= filepath="C:\IMAIL\spool\spam\hold2\*.smd" emailfrom="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" emailto="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Set FFunc = CreateObject("FileFunctions.files") if FFunc.Exists(filepath) then FFunc.GetFileList(filepath) Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message") objMessage.Subject = "(Alert) " & FFunc.Count & " Messages in The Hold Queue" objMessage.From = emailfrom objMessage.To = emailto strBody = strBody & "There are currently " & FFunc.Count & " files in the Hold Queue" & vbCRLF strBody = strBody & "" & vbCRLF strBody = strBody & "Date: " & FormatDateTime(Date, 1) & " - " & FormatDateTime(Now, 4) objMessage.TextBody = strBody objMessage.Send end if ======================== 3) Then I set up a scheduled task in the windows schduled tasks to run the file every 30 minutes. I hope that helps you.
