I have not compared the registry between the servers and frankly, do not know what exactly to check.

I have checked all of my Imail settings with an identical server and cannot find any difference in settings. My other server does not have these issues. Both servers are virtual machines on the same VM datastore.

Be sure to review your IMail connection checks.

While checking over things, I noticed that under DEP, the option selected is "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select:" and then, I have the choice to select decludeproc and SMTP Server for Imail, but they are not checked. Should these items be checked and if so, what does this do?

There does not appear to be any issues with the OS becoming overwhelmed, as I do not see any real change in memory or CPU usage when this issue occurs. This server processes around 20,000 - 30,000 emails a day roughly, as there are only about 350 - 400 accounts on it now that I have purged old and inactive accounts. Now, something new that I noticed earlier this week when the issue occurred was when I tried to send a test message from my Gmail account, I received the following returned message. Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: x...@domain.com Technical details of permanent failure: Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain domain.com by mail.domain.com. [XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX]. The error that the other server returned was: 550 unknown user x...@domain.com Where, x...@domain.com is my test email account and [XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] is the public IP of the server. As always though, a restart of the server corrected the issue. Does anyone have any other suggestions of things to check?

Man, why are you making us think so hard on a Friday? Lets see how good my memory is. Are you using an external database or the Imail Database, OKA the registry? If an external MS Access database, you might be bumping up against maximum connections/calls to the Access database. Do know what the volume of messages is? Being unable to log on to Webmail and getting the invalid username/password is indicitve that the OS is becoming overwhelmed, especially since it is a 32 bit server. I would look at the processor queue length as well as page file usage as will as DISK I/O to see if there is any disk trashing going on. -----Original Message----- From: "Daniel Ivey" <d...@gcrcompany.com> Sent: Thursday, November 6, 2014 8:28am To: community@mailsbestfriend.com Subject: [MBF] mail processing suddenly stops We are running Imail 8.22 on a Windows 2003 R2 Standard 32-bit server on VMWare with the latest Declude and Message Sniffer and Symantec Endpoint Protection 11. Symantec is excluding the M:\imail\spool\* directory from Security Risk Scans. Periodically, this server will suddenly stop processing messages. When this occurs, sometimes you cannot login to the webmail interface and you get an error of invalid username/password when checking the email on a client such as Outlook or Outlook Express, but not always. None of the Imail services are stopped and the DecludeProc service is still running. A reboot of the server takes care of the issue and the server may be fine for a few hours or 3 - 4 days and then this occurs again. We have DecludeCount setup on the server and when I check that, I notice that the number of processed messages does not change. That is when I try to send myself an email message from my Gmail account and do not receive it, which verifies that I need to reboot the server. Once the server comes back up after a reboot, the test email is delivered and all is good. We have Declude HiJack enabled on this server with the HOLD10 threshold set to 10 and the HOLD30 threshold set to 30 and are not receiving any emails about compromised accounts. We have another server running on the same VM that is as bone identical as it can be to this one and we very rarely have any issues with it. The only differences are the Declude HiJack thresholds are set higher and it has a different domain on it for email. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on things to check?
