Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] OT Server
problem
Hi,
Sorry if this is off topic, or maybe it isn't. I am
running Imail 8.2 with declude 1.82 on a Poweredge server 1750, dual
processors and 1 GB ram, internal Broadcom Netxtreme nic cards. I have
dns run on one internal nic and Imail on another. It has happened before
in the past but very rare that the Network card will stop responding.
The one with the DNS works fine but the other is non responsive and if you go
to network connections it will just lock up trying to access the card
properties, even though the rest of the box is runnning fine. I have to
do a hard reboot at this point to get the card to come back up.
I put the mail on the same card as the dns to see if the
internal nic had issues but then that card locked up within 10 minutes.
I went out and bought an external card and put it in and the same thing
happened after about 10 minutes of having the mail go through it. I
ended up going to Dell and downloaded an update for the nic cards and updated
the flash bios and it stayed up this time. I am hoping that is
it. However, the couple of times in the past two years this
happened one reboot would fix the problem and would not come back for
months. I worried that this is the case again and it may happen again,
sooner.
Has anyone experienced this? I did applyl the
microsoft patches sunday night but it ran fine for 4 days.
