Hi Matrosity,
Do you mean the tmp file thing or the memory leak?
I realized, that a program alias leaves a tmp
file.
I discovered that the tmp file will be created
at the time the batch was called. So it's not a problem to kill the
file.
Regarding the "memory leak": We're monitoring
the amount of memory smtp service and queue manager is using.
This is a good indication for the "stress
level" the mail server is running.
Sometimes the smtp service crashes for no
reason. After restarting both services, the mail server looks
afterwards more healthier.
It's also important to know, that the smtp
service and the queue manager must be treated as "twins".
If one service is suffering from something,
sooner or later the other one will be sick too. This reminds me really
to the twin kids from a friend of mine ;-)
This is my reason to restart both services
periodically, usually every 6 hours.
btw, i'm talking about version 8.22. I know
that the queue manager is much more robust in version 2006.x

Hi,
To avoid spreading memory leaks and other funny things, we're
restarting snmp and queue-Manager a few times per day, usually after
updating the anti spam files.
The same batch deletes also the tmp-files. It's right, the tmp files
are created by a program alias. If your're calling a batch via the
program alias, this batch can also delete his own tmp file. This works
pretty good.

It is not Imail's job to deal with the
.tmp file for a program alias, it is
for the program to deal with.
Please search the Imail KB for program
alias which clearly explains that it
is up to the program to delete or move or what ever the .tmp file.

Subject: [IMail Forum] tmp files in spool directory
Hi,
another small problem with ICS2006.3
I just checked my spool directory and found lots of temporary files.
All
files follow the naming scheme tmp***.tmp where *** is a three digit
hex
number. All files are 2KB in size. Checking the content of the files I
found that all are valid e-mails that were sent to an alias of type
"Program". In my case it is a MailSniffer update announcement that
comes
in several times a day. The mails are received correctly and trigger
the
related CMD file so my MailSniffer updates do work. But IMail leaves
such a spool file every time.
Just a small glitch?
