I can block the IP Address then do it. >but I really need to find out what went wrong here. no, first, cleanup the mess and get your server runnning. move the entire spool/ to spool/save/ (this contains mostly crap, but some good mail, the latter you need to find and move back to spool/. now your server can work again. Write a batch script like this pseudo-code for f in (dir spool/save); do if (find "ip.ad.re.ss" spool/save/$f) del spool/save/$f done For every file in the spool/save directory, if the file contains the string "ip.ad.re.ss" of the spammer, delete the file. When that's done, move all the remaining files from spool/save/ to spool/ Len To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
