RE: [IMail Forum] IMAIL Stopping

[Scott Forsythe]

I had this problem with IMail 5.x. To solve the problem I had to schedule the SMTP service to reset every hour with an AT command.   The symptoms were that none of my customers could send. The SMTP service showed that it was running. After resetting the service everything is fine.   We also have a memory leak problem with just about all IMail services. I have to reset them every night. You might want to check your available bytes before you restart your server the next time your have this problem. You may be running out of memory.   Another hunch I have that may be causing this problem is a host that uses an NT database. It seemed to cause a lot of problems for us after we set one up. We since moved it to another IMail server with an evaluation copy of 6.02. It hasn't had a problem. One thing to keep in mind with this configuration (with NT DB host) is that all IMail services have to log on with the system account. I was afraid to remove the AT commands that reset the SMTP service though to prove this was causing my problem.   I ordered IMail 6.02 and plan on installing it shortly. Hopefully, this will correct our problem. I'll be interested if you find a solution to your SMTP problem.   Scott -----Original Message----- From: Ron Schaefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2000 9:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] IMAIL Stopping About one or twice a day since last Friday my SMTP shut down.  When I go to the server there is a Windows error box stating "COMCLT32.dll failed to initialize properly".  I restart the server and all is fine for the next 2 to 5 hours, then the same thing.  The only change I made on Friday was to add an ip to the relay mail for list.  I have since removed that ip and it didn't help.   I am running IMAIL 6.02 with 50 domains and approx 800 users.
