Symptoms

We have some problems when restarting ESD.
If we restart ESD while generating mailings we will got following errors in log file.

ERROR SmtpEngine Unable to recover mailing in /opt/esd/state_dir/mailings/00000858
com.siebel.sem.smtp.MailingCreationException: Problem while trying to regenerate the input: Unexpected EOF

And after that not all batches were delivered.
After investigating this issue we discovered that after stoping ESD delivered.txt file placed in /opt/esd/state_dir/mailings/00000858 folder not correctly ended.
And to proceed mailing we need to remove last incorrect string in this file.
Is way to stop ESD correctly while proceeding mailings?
