Hi James, ASSP needs lots of modules installing to run, so if you've never run mod_inst.pl or been through the list of modules and installed them manually it is worth doing it. I don't know enough about MacOS X to say if mod_inst.pl is the best way of managing the modules but if it is run with the same version of perl that ASSP is using I would have thought it would work.
If you're able to access the GUI then that means that it is not losing connection completely. It looks to me like you're accessing the GUI via an IPV6 loopback address so it may be IPV4 that is dying. Alternatively it might just be outbound connections from the process. Does ASSP still log inbound connections to port 25 when it is faulted? They will presumably fail as it can't contact the MTA but if it is seeing them coming in then it might help track down the issue. Other than that, standard testing applies. Monitor performance, check through all your settings and turn up any necessary logging. Make sure nothing like a firewall, denyhosts or other antivirus is getting in the way. The high CPU average is definitely a concern, especially over that time period so I'm surprised you've not spotted it before. My normal average is <1% except for the past week where I've had no end of issues - some largely caused by my settings whilst trying to figure out other problems. Thomas pointed out to me that there's no need to set EnableHighPerformance to anything other than off if things are running fine. If you've been running for a while, make sure all ASSP files are up to date not just the main assp.pl and go through every single one of your settings. Make sure you've a good reason for anything that isn't set to default otherwise change it back. Be aware that the default recommendations may change as new versions come out. All the best, Colin Waring.

Thanks for your replies. Sorry, IO::Select is version 1.21, IO::Socket::INET6 is 2.72. IO::Socket::INET isn’t listed in the Perl Modules section of the GUI’s Info and Stats page. OS is Mac OS X 10.7.5 Only use iPv4 normally. Usually I can restart ASSP from the GUI, but sometimes I have to kill Perl. Everything else seems to work fine. Dovecot keeps handling new IMAP connections, FreshClam can download new virus definitions, etc. System log does show any non-ASSP errors. One thing I have just noticed in the Info & Stats page, it has CPU Usage over the last 384 days as 97.79% average, but for the last five hours it has only been 0.44% average. Those 5 hours are after-hours times though, but I’m surprised at the scale of the difference. But that’s unrelated I’d assume. Looks like I have a few different versions of Perl on my system: /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl5.10 /usr/bin/perl5.12 /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl5.18.2 /usr/local/bin/perl -v This is perl 5, version 18, subversion 2 (v5.18.2) built for darwin-thread-multi-ld-2level which is same as /usr/bin/perl Should I run mod_inst.pl? Re limits, I’ve increased them way above the defaults for Mac OS X, as otherwise I get resource unavailable errors. Current limits are: sudo launchctl limit cpu unlimited unlimited filesize unlimited unlimited data unlimited unlimited stack 8388608 67104768 core 0 unlimited rss unlimited unlimited memlock unlimited unlimited maxproc 1064 1064 maxfiles 65536 65536 and as far as I can tell never hit these limits. All I have to do is restart ASSP - never have to restart the whole server. Thanks again for your help, James. > On 7 Oct. 2016, at 7:59 pm, cw <colin.war...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi James, > > You said IO::Socket::INET is 2.72 - are you sure this isn't > IO::Socket::INET6?
