<DIV>This is for incoming mail. On average I receive 15-20 thousand incoming emails a day. Right now I have roughly 2000 messages in the queue, so MS has been routing mail but it is very slow.

<DIV>Kevin, </DIV>
<DIV>To be honest all I have ever used is mailscanner, I am not famaliar with configuring sendmail on it's own. I have been at this all night with no luck. I have restarted MS many times with minimal success. I have tried changing my routing table to route to a different internal server to verify it's not a problem with the host I normally connect with and have the same problems. This is very frustrating, I've got about 2000 message still stuck in the queue, they are getting delivered but at a very slow rate. Users don't like to see email from customers that are 2 days late. If you have any more suggestions, I'd appreciate it.<BR><BR><B><I>"Spicer, Kevin" <Kevin.Spicer@BMRB.CO.UK></I></B> wrote:</DIV>
