Re: [IMail Forum] Email boxes created since certain date

Hi, Richard-

The file creation date is exposed via the File object. You should be able toget to it with a VBScript or .NET:


Dim fs,f
Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f=fs.GetFile("d:\imail\domains\blah_com\users\blah\main.mbx")
msgbox("File created: " & f.DateCreated)

set fs=nothingset f=nothingYou can use the FileSystem object to iteratethrough all your files and directories, and create a text file containingonly those files created after the date in question.

Great! I knew it had that 'system problem' feeling!

I held a connection for almost 3 minutes and I see the total
number of connections is much higher than it was before:
+OK X1 NT-POP3 Server W.X.Y.Z (IMail 8.22 896-6)

One for the "unusual symptom" category...

Our emails have just crossed.

This is valuable information for anyone with this type of
problem.

Thanks again.

I've made a few connections to your server and some of those
lasted over 50
seconds (my telnet program counts time of connection and I saw 70
once, but
maybe some timeout makes it think it is longer). I saw numbers
that got as
high as 80-8, but the second was always larger in the first few
seconds
after the restart (not really surprising). It seems to take 10-15
seconds
before the restart completes.

This is very strange operation! POP3 almost never stops and to
see it doing
it every minute, is bizarre!
Does a re-install fix this at all?
If not, try renaming the pop3d.exe to .old and reinstall (bad
disk sector,
maybe?). Set POP3 to Manual in services, and restart computer
before
install, if at all possible. Reset service back to Automatic, if
install
does not do this for you.

Have you checked the HD? CHKDSK /F is still a good tool for many
HD systems.

Is your page file 3 times RAM?

Did you find any other warnings or errors in the Event logs? Make
them go
away!

Sorry nothing more specific, but it has the feel of a system
problem...

Can you try another NIC in the computer? Is the driver for the
current NIC,
the latest? Does the NIC have any power management enabled on it?
You might
try disabling that...

Oh, I saw you playing with the service greeting... seems it's
back to
normal, now.

It definitely is stopping - I get disconnected from Telnet when
it happens.

The numbers are (for each telnet connection)
59-4
18-2
4-4


The service stops at exactly :53 seconds past the minute every
two minutes.
Some 30 seconds later the system restarts the POP3 mail service.
Imail
doesn't log down to the second logging to sys????.txt so I've set
it to log
to the event log instead.

1 minute is also the default poll interval for IMonitor. Shut it
off, at
least for a while.

What happens when you manually try to stop/start the service? If
that goes
OK and quickly, does the restart have any effect on the
situation?

Did you enable logging in the POP3 service? Does the log show the
service
restarting when you do it and nothing otherwise? Maybe the
service is not
really stopping? If you telnet to port 110, the numbers at the
end tell how
many current connections and how many since last restart. If
yours is really
restarting every minute, I would expect the last number to be
fairly small,
certainly less than a thousand. What does the first number show?

60000 msec is one minute on the dot.

Maybe it is never running.

Are you getting mail though the POP3 service?

There's nothing in the SMTP logs that's relevant. However, I am

seeing

entries like:

11:06 15:55 POP3D  UNK:

Which I'm trying to find out what they mean. Aside from that

it's just

logon/logoff successes

Thanks for the advice. I will try what you suggest.

Unfortunately,

nothing of any consequence is being logged in the event log

other than

the rather generic "service stopped unexpectedly".


Check the IMail log files.  Lok for POP activity just prior to

the POP

service stopping.  It might give you some clue as to what is

causing the

crash.
