I think the problem was the mail server thread count in bluedragon.xml ("Mail Threads" in the web admin). This had reverted to it's default setting of 1. Once I set it back to 4 (my MTA's own preference), then the "Failed to delete... tmpsend" errors abated.
Probably a file lock issue then.

My original question remains though:
Does anyone know if the system will keep re-sending the same message if the tmpsend file is NOT removed?

Thanks for reading,

I've moved a bulk mail job to OpenBD. The process feeds 300 messages thru CFMAIL every 2 minutes.

The process seems to go well for a while, then mail.log starts to accumulate messages like the following:

06/03/15 09:46.03: MailOutFail: Failed to delete /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/bluedragon/work/cfmail/spool/1425661371267.tmpsend

This appears to happen when the spool folder reaches a thousand or more entries...
If I bump Tomcat, then the issue goes away for a while.
The permissions on the spool folder are 777.

If I search my postfix logs for the email address from the entry JUST ABOVE this entry, I see that this poor soul has received more than one message within minutes of each other. Does a failure in deleting a tmpsend record mean that the same email will be sent over and over until the delete succeeds?

Thanks,
Al
