no, I bet not. MSPickupDirectory has nothing to do with Imail\spool directory.

I'm pretty sure this "mailservice" has nothing to do with Imail.

They are probably referring to the that CDONTS service, the MS SMTP
service, no? Yeah, it looks like Jmail is "cheating" and not running
its own queue but using the MS SMTP queue. I wonder if
serverobjects' ASPQmail does the same or runs its own queue.

ok, that's pretty clear they'r talkin about MS SMTP service, nothing
to do with Imail SMTP service. Jmail is assuming a pure 100% MS
environment for .asp and VBScripting and COM, which excludes Imail.
IIRC, I don't think you can run MS SMTP service, even just for
sending with the MS SMTP client, at same time as Imail because the MS
SMTPD listens only on port 25, clobbering Imail.
If this is true (somebody here needs to verify my recollection), then
see if Jmail can be configured to send all its msgs to one SMTP
server, an "outbound mail gateway", and make that Imail's
ip.ad.re.ss:25 on the same machine, and Imail will queue/remote
deliver. Don't put in the Imail hostname, since that will cause
Jmail to do DNS lookups, taking longer. use the ip address
