Re: SMTP tasks on AS400 very high

We still haven't gotten a definitive explanation for our issue here.  It 
was similar to yours in that the SMTP utilization would skyrocket (though 
ours would go to 80%+).  Most, if not every, time, there was a message 
being delivered for the third or fourth or twentieth time.  In our case, 
there was evidence that the Domino server was having network issues.  We 
discovered that there was a bad ethernet cable, but that only cured part 
of the issues.  I applied PTFs this past weekend and error has not 
recurred (to my knowledge).

As for stopping what you are seeing, the sending server will either get 
the acknowledgement from your Domino server that the message was received 
(and stop trying to send the message to your server) or it will give up 
the delivery as a lost cause and stop trying.  In our case, the sending 
server gives up after 24 hours.

Hope that helps,
Patrick
