Topic: eMail clogging up server, massive upload rate BIG problem

[gocdo]

I have seen this in 5.6 (and earlier), 6.01 and 6.5. I had a number of queries in this forum several years ago and gave up on a real fix after no response.  I lost one client because of it, two others have changed to MS/exchange.

After analysis it only seems to occur when there is a large CC or BCC list. If to single addresses it is ok. My fix was to use mercury (from www.pmail.com) on a local PC which will take a cc/bcc list and on-send to single addresses only. Cheap/quick/easy and works even if a second grade soluation.

I did post an answer earlier in this thread that people have perhaps overlooked.
Read it carefully & completely as it has many useful tweaks !

install the qmHandle contrib to quickly delete your queue.

wget http://www.saco-support.de/SME/smeserver-saco-qmHandle/smeserver-saco-qmHandle-1.2.1-1.noarch.rpm

#stop qmail
/etc/init.d/smtpfront-qmail stop
/etc/init.d/qmail stop

qmHandle -D

#restart qmail
/etc/init.d/qmail start
/etc/init.d/smtpfront-qmail start

man qmHandle for more info

Is this contrib compatible with SME 7.0pre1?
