Dear Tim
I think we have the same problem. I wrote it here before. SMTP32.exe causes
dll initialization error. But nobody helped us about this case. We even
called IPSwitch but the only thing they told us is there is a patch which we
already installed before. So there is no way other than rebooting the server
at least twice a day I suppose.

> Like some other Imail users we are getting a major problem with SMTP32.exe
processes not being closed. They sit there using memory and zero processor
time on the NT4 (service pack 6a) server. We use V6.03 Imail behind a
firewall with other machines providing inbound and outbound virus checking.
All outbound mail is delivered to another host for virus checking and then
forwaded for delivery to the firewall. All works well if web messaging is
not used, but the dead SMTP processes build up when the webmail is used to
any extent by out potential 44,000 users. Total traffic in and out is about
2000 messages per day - mostly short. I had hoped that moving to V6 would
remove this problem that we also suffered with V5.

There are no mailing lists running. At the current time we have to reboot
the server every day to clear them out. Any suggestions or new ideas to try
please? Or has anyone got a program to monitor these processes and kill them
when they reach a certain number? It's a real pain.
