I was having a problem in about the summer of '06 with SMTP. It had the
annoying habit of abending with a humongous console. Someone in TCPIP
2nd lvl suggested that I replace the z/VM 4.4 level of SMTP with the 5.1
SMTP. It reduced the problem a lot, but it still happened. Must be
something in our environment. At any rate the 510 SMTP ran just fine on
z/VM 4.4 and that level of TCPIP.
Go ahead and give it a try. You'd probably get a "not supported" from
IBM, but you already have a problem anyway. What do you have to lose?

All:
We are having a strange problem. Randomly, sometimes daily,
sometimes more often, and sometime less, the TCPIP stack under z/VM 4.4
seems (based on observations from VMMON) to "hog" the CPU (takes it
100%) and then completely fails to respond to any NETSTAT commands. The
version of the stack is 440 - which is what was supplied with z/VM 4.4
Since this is an unsupported environment, which will take a
while to upgrade, is it possible to try running TCPIP 510 or 520 as the
stack in z/VM 4.4? I just want to see if it will get us around this
problem.
Thanks, in advance.
