My understanding is that you should place the files you are creating in the C:\xmail\spool\local folder (create them elsewhere and copy them to that location). I don't think placing the files directly into the numbered spool folders is a good idea.
From the documentation: XMAIL LOCAL MAILER XMail has the ability to deliver locally prepared mail files that if finds in the 'spool/local' directory. The format of these files is strict: mail from:<...>[CR][LF] rcpt to:<...>[CR][LF] ... [CR][LF] message text with [CR][LF] line termination All lines must be [CR][LF] terminated, with one mail-from statement, one or more rcpt-to statements, an empty line and the message text. Mail files must not be created directly inside the '/spool/local' directory but instead inside '/spool/temp' directory. When the file is prepared it has to be moved into '/spool/local'. The file name format is: stime-seqnr.pid.hostname where: stime system time in sec from 01/01/1970. seqnr sequence number for the current file. pid process or thread id. hostname creator process host name. Example: 97456928-001.7892.home.bogus XMail has a number of LMAIL threads that periodically scan the '/spool/local' directory watching for locally generated mail files. You can tune this number of threads with the '-Ln nthreads' command line option. The suggested number ranges from three to seven.
