I created a simple batch file using these two lines only and created an AT command to execute every day at 0600 and 2400.  Takes care of the problem.
 

net stop iwebmsg
net start iwebmsg

Scott,

That makes perfect sense to me. If you’re doing that from the command line, what do your two lines of code (off/on) look like? Just looking for a shortcut. J

On a windows 2000 box I was seeing the same problem, so I set up an AT command to stop and restart the Iwebmsg service twice everyday at 0600 and 2400.  It only interrupts the service for a nanosecond at off peak times, but I don't have to worry about monitoring it for the stop.  It may not be right, but at least it works.

From what I understand, Ipswitch has acknowledged problems in Imail 7.05 where the web interface stops opening attachments.  It works for a while, then stops.  The only cure so far is to restart the Imail Web Messaging service. 

 

This is a big problem since it now seems to happen every few days and we have to monitor carefully to determine when to restart services.  The phone tech at Ipswitch told me he heard this problem from a large number of users on 7.05.

 

The only suggestion from Ipswitch has been to manipulate the browser.cap file.  But that doesn't seem to fix it, nor is that an acceptable solution, since the problem is sporadic.

 

We have been on Imail for years using the web interface, but only started seeing this problem when we moved to 7.05 a few weeks ago.  I think it's a problem in the code that Ipswitch needs to own up to and FIX! 

 

Does anybody have any ideas, observations, or suggestions?
