I did some testing today, and found the problem. The BASE variable
defaults to ".". This is fine when it is run from the command line,
because it knows it is running from C:\ASSP, and uses that as its
base directory.
However, when running as a service - EVEN THOUGH the service command line is:
"C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe" "c:\assp\assp.pl" "c:\assp"
ASSP instead uses C:\Windows\System32 as its base (on X64 windows, it
uses C:\Windows\SysWOW64). Oddly enough, it READS the assp.cfg file
out of the C:\ASSP directory, but from that point forward, assumes it
is running from C:\Windows\System32, so it writes all config files,
log files, creates new mail storage directories, etc. there.
Fixing this problem is easy - manually edit assp.cfg and change
base:=.
to
base:=C:/ASSP
After that, it works correctly - as far as the web interface and file
writing goes.
It does not solve the "IO-subsystem error - unable to poll handles on
OS" problem with threads dying and becoming deaf until the system
stops altogether.

Maybe it is a problem with the user rights.
Use Sysinternals NTfilemon to see if there is a conflict with user
right.
Or go to the services console and try to run the service as an
Administrator. If this solves the problem it is caused by NTFS
Permissons or GPOs
