CPU running from 15% to 65% while watching it for 15 or 20 minutes in task manager (first thing I checked -- sorry I didn't mention it). > If not, you should check your DNS settings in the SMTP section of IMail > Administrator, and make sure that there is only one DNS server listed > there, and that it is a highly reliable server (preferably one on your > network).

I currently have two in the box -- both in house and reliable. One on each T-1 that comes into the building. I'll try that. I'm now up to 16,000+ files in both directories only 3 hours after I posted my initial message. Any way to cause all inbound messages to issue a 'tempfail' reject while the box recovers?
