Out of curiosity, is your server even attempting to send the GSE files? If you look at the queue, you should be able to see a count of the number of times the server tries to send the GSE(postmaster) files. If you find the count is zero, the next thing to check is to see if -any- postmaster bounces are occurring at all from your server.
GSE files are messages sent from postmaster. Typically, you will see a ton of those if you are under a dictionary attack. But, this is different. I ran into an odd situation recently (6 days ago, imail 7.x) where a server entirely stopped sending postmaster bounces(such as for invalid user). The GSE files would simply sit in the queue, with no sign of delivery attempt. Not sure if this was a symptom or a cause, but it eventually stopped mail flow. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of WHTV - Internet Tech.

I have yet to find a culprit email type, however I would add that I am also seeing a large amount of GSE files staying in the queue, that I have been manually removing. I had hoped to use Isplcln.exe or one of the scripts that people had posted, but unfortunately the regularity of this problem has increased. I came in at noon yesterday and by 9:00 pm I was seeing it again. So deleting these GSE files needs to be more frequent than once a day, if that is even a contributor.

I remember an 8.05 patch that dealt with this issue. No patch, I'm still using 7.15, patched with all that is available. I've cleared my spool file out totally, only leaving today's spooled mail and folders written to, today. I don't plan on moving anything back. Will keep an eye on this now and see if that did the trick. Thanks for everyone's help!
