Hi Kevin,
Your're right, both threads have nothing in common ;-)
I'm pretty sure, that the smtp service and the queue manager has some memory leaks. Don't get me wrong, these "leaks" are really *not* critically.
Since i update the anti spam files several times a day, i have to restart both services anyway to get the new data into the memory.
As a said before, i will monitor the memory usage both of the services this week and i will publish the results as soon as enough data is available.
Actually, we're rebuilding our monitoring strategy since we have some other heavy memory eaters on our Web-, not mail-servers.
In general, i made the experience, that a periodic restart of certain services (eg. MS-SQL, Java, ColdFusion) is a good thing and avoids lots of trouble.
This strategy allows, that the number of reboots of a server is very low. We're booting our servers every 10 weeks or so. Mostly after applying the microsoft patches ;-)
The problem is to find a "maintenance window" to do this jobs without annoying the users/visitors. But this is a different story.

hi all,
i think this crossover was caused by me. there are 2 separate topics. at this point, Ipswitch has not seen correlations between them. In summary, here are the 2 topics:
1. TMP Files
2. SMTP Chewing up Memory
Also, as Martin mentioned, with the upgrade to 2006.03, we have found that some customers who were doing regularly scheduled restarts are longer doing so but that's really up to the IMail Admin. If IMail runs faster and performs better when doing so, then it's fine to continue doing so.
bye for now,
