[IMail Forum] Smtp fails and spool keeps growing

[Adam \(Snowboard\)]

We have recently been having problems sending mail with our smtp server. At times it crashes and will not send mail. When this happens, we ussually have to restart the server for without the smtp service started, make a new empty spool directory, start the smtp service, and then start moving the files from the old spool over. I have a couple questions.   1) Is anyone else having the same problem. Smtp sevices craashes and spool directory builds while noe mail is sent and there is no warning given on the server.   2) What is the best way to solve this problem. Do we have to shut down the server to fix this, or is there another way to do it? We really don't like shutting down the server, but it seems like that is the only way to do it.
