Hi all
I have just discovered that there are some unsent (valid) e-mails – some of them petty old (and important to) - while the rest is spam mails - in the scratch folder.
a) Why didn’t they leave the folder?
b) How can they be “moved†into the mail server again?
Many old e-mails in the Scratch folder - why?

MailEnable unpacks messages into this scratch folder when it analyzes them for viruses. If you have/had resident antivirus then it is possible that this is/was interfering with the antivitus scanning process, hence leaving old files behind. I suggest you clear the directory and then periodically check the directory for leftovers. If some occur, then you should look at the MTA log file to see why the files could not be removed.
