RE: [FW1] Files Stuck in SMTP queue

["Paquette, Trevor" <TrevorPaquette@metronet.ca>]

We have had the same experience here as well.

However.. We have found that by removing Dr Watson Visual Notification we
can get things running for a longer period.
As for mail being stuck.. once the eSafe system has rebooted, you may want
to kill mdq (this is for Solaris).
When it starts up again, it will pick up all the files in the firewall spool
directory again.

We are at eSafe 2.0 build 93, FW-1 3.0b Build 3083 (Solaris 2.6)
