Keif: I'll try bumping up the smtp processes, maybe that will help. I also keep the spool clean of old messages, but I'm not sure if that makes a difference. My machines are dual 1Ghz, scsi raid 5, 1G ram, I should be able to do at least what you are running! Are you running web messaging? If so, what's the average CPU % of iwebmsg.exe?
What do you mean by "a relay box for if they're not there"? Thanks for your input, I thought I was the only one with 60MB+ smtp logs per day!
