You can download the Imail spool cleaner utility from their website. Call
it nightly as follows:
isplcln -n 1 -l 5
-n refers to the age of the files to delete. This applies to all but log
files.
-l refers to the age of the log files to delete.
In both cases, the number says how old they fiels should be days.
So my command line deletes all surplus files over one day old, and all log
fuiles over 5 days old. I zip my log files and place them in an archive
directory anyway, so the log part is pretty much immaterial on my system.

Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Spool size
Going through the spool folder I found that there were 22,000 ".gse" files
(which I see are generated by the postmaster). I looked at several of
them
and they were basically bounces from email addresses that didn't exist.
Is
there a reason to keep these (my gut says no). Also, Darin mentioned that
I
can clean up files orphaned D* files without a matching Q file. Is there
an
easy way to go through and do this without me having to look through them
all?
Thanks again,
Todd

Yes, this indicates a problem. We run about 125-150K messages a day
(96-98%) filtered out by Declude, but in general we only have approx 300
or
so files in the spool. I have my QueueMon settings to alert us when it
gets
over 500.
You need to start looking at those files and figure out what is wrong.

How many files are too many in the spool? Our backup mail server's spool
seems to grow by the day, and is currently at 56K files. The file types
vary, but does this suggest a problem somewhere?
Thanks,
Todd
