RE: [FW1] Files Stuck in SMTP queue

[tskoenig@CCMAINE.ORG]

Well, I guess it is not platform specific.   That was my next question.
Is this product any more stable on a different platform, or is it
just inherent in the product.   

It doesn't appear to discriminate.

Does anyone know what the process for mail is in the NT
environment.

I have to take a look.

Thanks,

Todd K.
