After changing this two values (TcpTimedWaitDelay: 60 seconds / MaxUserPort = 25000 ports) there was not more one single MX connect failed or status=3 in the logfiles. All messages was delivered immediately. these are great band-aid settings, but the problem remains that causes Imail to leave so

Now, I've read each message in this thread, and looked at my own registry settings. I don't see this anywhere. Are these two keys not present by default (over-ridden only if present)? That might be a useful step for anyone wanting to duplicate the experiment. Thanks, Oblio At 3/1/2005 12:10
