smtp server restart

I have a W2k server with SMTP sending mail on behalf of a custom e-mail app.
Several hundred to several thousand e-mails/day are sent from this SMTP
server. I would like to know the best way to deal with a restart. If I
restart, will the SMTP server cleanly finish up sending the one it's working
on, and then resume upon restart?

How can I check how many are in the queue at any given time?

DC,

If your server is crashing or hanging you might want to
download our ReJuvin8 tool. It's free for the first
15-days. It can keep your site running despite problems.

It's designed to detect problems then restart or reboot.
It can restart ANY programs, services, or processes in
precise order. It doesn't fix bugs but it does give you some
breathing room while you are finding them. ReJuvin8 also
gives you email and telephone alert messages and graphic
status reports.

It can also test, alert, and report on URLs running anywhere
on any server on your net connection. So if you use multiple
servers you can use them to watch each other, too.

ReJuvin8 has both an automatic and a custom mode. In the
auto mode you make all the settings by pointing and
clicking. This will handle most applications.

The custom mode uses heartbeat synch files to get absolute
detection that key processes are working. Tools and
instructions are provided to help you do this. We also offer
customization as a contract service.
