Hi all,
After trying to investigate some problems on one of our machines,
I was surprised to discover that the IMail spool directory
contains 25,000 files (!), about 300MB in total. Is this normal?
Does each of these files represent a session in progress or what?
This should be one of our relatively low use machines. (The relay
options appear to be set correctly to avoid spammers, but I'm
double checking that too).
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
From a previous post:
I'm curious as to what in the /spool/ folder on Imail needs to be kept? My /spool/ folder is almost 2 gig.
Huge. Run the following from a dos prompt in the IMail directory.
isplcln -n 5 -l 10
This utility will remove files for you. The above example will remove mail files older than 5 days and log files older than 10 days. I try to send Email for 3 days before I send back to the customer with an error message. After that the email can be deleted. I use 5 days just to be sure.
