I have been having the same issue or incidents would be better phrasing. I have a busy server, 4000 + boxes plus many off-site scrubbing services.
I have had three "incidents" in the past month, the first two were directly related to smtp crashing and not restarting. I have not had the smtp issue since installing HF2 for 8.2 . Since that point I have had one incident that was very different than the first two. There have been no SMTP warnings in event log, no SMTP error 1455 (out of memory) in logs since the HF2. The only thing I could trace this one to is in the Declude logs. The logs indicated it could not move spam to hold directory. This incident required a hard boot of the server, external access was cut off. Declude support has indicated they are seeing this as a possible issue. Normally, I would not quote tech support on a list and I am not blaming Declude for this issue. But this may be very helpful towards resolution of this issue: "Chris, We are currently looking into an issue where the HOLD directive does not work properly. My first suspicion, since you have mentioned HOLD, is that it is related to this same issue. It is possible that the hold directory is not being created correctly or that the name being passed to that routine is invalid.

(7 to 20 Megabytes) I wouldn't be surprised by some type of logging problem. I occasionally see truncated/incomplete log lines in the file. This would certainly seem to be some sort of bug related to logging. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Davidson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <Declude.JunkMail@declude.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2005 1:36 PM Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Insufficient system resources error > > I have been watching this thread and have been the victim of the SMTP > service failures (hangs really) but I do not get a Insufficient system > resources error. > > I believe I have the problem traced to the SMTP logging, if I turn the > SMTP logging off (yea I know... :) I no longer have SMTP failures.
