Should not be Antigen, we used Scanmail and sometime IMS also shutdown by itself also. At first we used Scanmail 3.51 which used AVAPI, and this happened. Afterwards upgrade to 3.7 which follows Antigen uses ESE. Thought this may help IMS since the Virus engine scan the virus in the Database Engine level, still IMS will shutdown by itself occassionally.
For me I suspect that some corrupted mails causing this on my site, may not be your case. Overhere there are some web services which make use of java mail servlet, basically the developers tried to compose their own mails complete with MIME attachments. Suspect some of the mails composed by these applications has the wrong format which IMS does not recognized and cause it to halt. I have asked the developers to relook into their servlets.

I discovered this overnight and when I went to restart the service--thank God it did restart. Antigen is the mailserver antivirus we use. So, I am throwing this out to you for any comments, specifically has anyone on this list experienced a "self shutdown" by Exchange. My only thought that somehow the Antigen software shutdown the server to fend off some virus attack.
