David (mxguard) is very involved on the list so you should hear from him soon on this.   Regards, Bill Foresman Matrosity Hosting www.matrosity.com 850.656.2644   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tripp Allen Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 8:35 PM To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] 10-30 minute delivery problems If you use the wrong location it won't start.  I can't answer questions on the MXGuard as I have no information on it.   Tripp   ----- Original Message ----- From: SKNIGHT To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 8:26 PM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] 10-30 minute delivery problems Well, I put it back to mxGuard, because at least it was running faster.  However I notice, it’s starting an mxgurd.exe process (I’m assuming to deliver the mail), however one mxGuard task has been running for just shy of 4 hours.  Should I terminate that?  (The same as if it were smtp32.exe?)   If the process is not being started for each message, are you referring to the delivery application path/filename?  Out of curiosity, if you specify the wrong location, will it use the windows path to find the correct location?   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tripp Allen Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 8:11 PM To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] 10-30 minute delivery problems   Look in your task list to make sure you don't have a bunch of smtp32.exe processes stuck.  In IMail 7, each smtp32 process delivers a message and if a bunch of them are hung up new ones won't start.    Otherwise, It sounds like the process is not being started for each message, so double check the path/filename in the sendname to make sure it's correct.   Tripp   ----- Original Message ----- From: SKNIGHT To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 8:00 PM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] 10-30 minute delivery problems   No errors in the logs (aside from the generic undeliverables/mailbox full/unknown user messages) , and no errors in any of my system logs either.  Even the generic postmaster mails have been cut down (there never more than 5-10 GSE files in the spool).   --- http://www.thoughtbludgeon.com http://www.edgey.net http://www.myspace.com/edgey http://www.stephenjamesknight.com http://www.myspace.com/sjknight AIM: SINIBYTE ICQ: 126370648 Yahoo!:  Thoughtbludgeon 'when you're holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail.'
