Hi,
Every Monday I'm sending a newsletter to a couple of thousands of mail
addresses. During the weekend I modified in simcontrol spam_hits from 12
to 5. As a result Outlook was unable to send the newsletter. Unable
means no error message, just sending/processing forever. In that list of
email addresses are many invalid addresses too, which generate 256
errors, which are time-out-s, but correct me if I'm wrong and I also
seen simscan: connect error 2 errors. But even if there are error, it
worked before and I don't see the connection between the spam_hits
parameter. In the Linux world I know that there is no such thing as,
something works today, but it doesn't work after a while, like in case
of Windows.
So there are two possibilities: or Qmailtoaster was not configured
well(less probable, because is to simple to configure), or the spam_hits
parameter affected qmailtoaster's functionality.
What do you think?

There are more than 2 possibilities (lucky for you). ;)
There is a known intermittent problem with sending which seems to happen
more often with Outlook than with other clients. In this case, the message
is received by the toaster and subsequently sent, but the submission session
terminates abnormally, leaving Outlook to think that the message wasn't
sent, so Outlook keeps sending it until you remove it from Outlook's
outgoing folder.
The fact that you changed spam_hits is simply coincidental to your error.
There is no other relationship between them.
Is good to hear the is nothing wrong with the server. I created a
mailing list and I hope like I'll get rid of this problem. But Is there
a workaround for this problem? The same thing happens with Outlook 2007?

I like that. Applies to Outlook the same as Windows.
