Scott,

Monitor your logs more closely, something is indicating a problem.  Check
the Event Viewer.  Monitor your network activity.  Try monitoring threads in
Performance Monitor.  Select Thread as the performance object and select
iwebmsg as the threads to monitor.  You can monitor your server from another
computer, so as not to interfere with the performance of the system you are
trying to monitor.

Use best practices, I am no expert but I would recommend:
>From the Web Messaging service in Imail, Ignore source address in security
check
Enable statistics
Uncheck Keep Alive
limit the Max. attachment size.

Are you using Web Calendaring?  Can you turn it off for testing purposes?

Are you using POP or IMAP?  If you are using IMAP monitor the folders users
are creating.  IMail doesn't like IMAP folders with spaces in the name.
I've had a user crash the server while creating/deleting IMAP folders using
Outlook 98.

Most likely it isn't KWM.  Removing KWM doesn't prove it is KWM, but it
suggests it is connected, perhaps working with a service that is causing the
hanging.  Monitor your users.  What are they doing with the more functional
KWM that they may not be doing with the boring stock templates.

Your hardware is more than adequate.  The ports you run on shouldn't make a
difference.

I'm running Imail 7.04HF2, KWM, YGM, images served from a separate IIS
server, Imail user database, Declude with F-Prot, PIII 733 with 512MB (which
is probably more power than I need).  Approximately 8 domains and 50 users.
On Windows 2000, which is stripped down and optimized.

Regards,
Paul

I don't have Keep Alives checked and the SQL server is a completely
different box as with the IIS.  Like I said I have 3 separate boxes to serve
up the mail application.  This is why is disagree with the load on the mail
server.

In fact the web messaging and SMTP services create very little load.  I'm
running a dual PIII 1Ghz processors and 2gb of memory.  The application is
not even putting a dent on the resources of the box.  I use more resources
opening Task Manager than I do running this application.

The only thing I have to go and not that I'm going to try because my user
like the KillerWebMail templates is that when they removed them, they (user
of the Imail listsrv) have no more problems with the Iwebmsg service
hanging.  This leads me to believe that the problem must be associated with
the KillerWebMail templates.  I have no other facts to base that on.

The VBScript comment was targeted to the EZSignup application I bought from
HumanKind.  I got it confused with what we were talking about.

Keep-Alives: disable it.

SQL Server: give it its own box. I don't think you'll find a MS SQL Server
dba anywhere that says its okay to run this app alongside other apps. It
steps on other apps like little crunchy crickets from what I've heard. :)
